Re: Unable to create resource of type "File"

 

No, I am talking about the system user on the operating system.

So, if you DHIS2 server is running as the user "dhis", then this user needs
access to be able to write to that directory mentioned in your file.

This has nothing to do with users in DHIS2, but is potentially an operating
system issue with the permissions of the directory which the server needs
to write to.

Regards,
Jason
