testlink installation failed: checking if /var/testlink/logs/ directory exists

Question

Today, I installed testlink. And after I select 'new Installation' and choose 'I agree' option, it failed at the second step. The failed message are as following:

Read/write permissions

For security reason we suggest that directories tagged with [S] on following messages, will be made UNREACHEABLE from browser
Checking if C:\xampp\htdocs\testlink\gui\templates_c directory exists OK
Checking if C:\xampp\htdocs\testlink\gui\templates_c directory is writable (by user used to run webserver process) OK
Checking if /var/testlink/logs/ directory exists [S] Failed!
Checking if /var/testlink/upload_area/ directory exists [S] Failed!

So, can anyone give me a hand? Many thanks!

Answer 1

In C:\xampp\htdocs\testlink\config.inc.php file, change

$g_repositoryPath = 'C:\xampp\htdocs\testlink\upload_area';
$tlCfg->log_path = 'C:\xampp\htdocs\testlink\logs';

Worked for me , make sure you dont have the slash at the end.
i.e, make sure that it is NOT:

$g_repositoryPath = 'C:\xampp\htdocs\testlink\upload_area\';
$tlCfg->log_path = 'C:\xampp\htdocs\testlink\logs\';

If you installed the XAMPP or testlink in another directories, change the paths above accordingly.
