I am unable to install ossn in my localhost,the error message i get is this " Invalid data directory or directory is not writeable." Has anyone had this issue? I know I am missing something here. This is the YouTube guide i followed

Thanks in advance.

This may sound stupid, but DID you create a data directory, and IS it writetable?

If you installed OSSN in let's say /var/www/ossn, you need to create a data directory which is NOT a subdirectory of /var/www/ossn.

For example /var/www/repository will do.

Make sure permissions are set to 755 and it is owned by your apache server.
