Solution

  • You need to change access rights to the folder. There are 2 options.

    1. sudo chmod 777 /var/www/html/mysql - Changes access rights to the mysql directory
    2. sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www/html/mysql - Changes access rights to both the mysql directory and all subdirectories inside.
