# Troubleshooting​

## Permission Issues

The XOOPS Upgrade may need to write to files that have previously been made read-only. If this is the case, you will see a message like this:

![XOOPS Upgrade Make Writable Error](https://265890714-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-L_EjUvXXbOiEMe2qFIc%2F-L_EkOTndUbjmkcnpXxm%2F-L_EkQV3ZAJPNOmADdT8%2Fupgrade-03-make-writable.png?generation=1551821297971201\&alt=media)

The solution is to change the permissions. You can change permissions using FTP if you do not have more direct access. Here is an example using FileZilla:

![FileZilla Change Permission](https://265890714-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-L_EjUvXXbOiEMe2qFIc%2F-L_EkOTndUbjmkcnpXxm%2F-L_EkQV5p2nsv2drDMDK%2Fupgrade-04-change-permissions.png?generation=1551821292946601\&alt=media)

## Debugging Output

You can enable extra debugging output in the logger by adding a debug parameter to the URL used to launch the Upgrade:

```
http://example.com/x258i/upgrade/?debug=1
```
