OMG! It's the PHP <strike>Meat</strike> BBQ Tour!

Mmmhhhh!!! Just kidding of course. ;-) I’m sure you’ve already read Ulf Wendel’s blog post about the PHP BBQ Tour. And as you noticed, he’ll be in town Berlin on the 18th June. What better opportunity is there to come out and share a Bratwurst (or a veggie-dog) with a couple people from the local PHP usergroup, and MySQL Sun (Oracle?) and other known PHP folks such as PHPUnit’s Sebastian Bergmann and Mayflower’s Bjoern Schotte....

Magento: Error: Please check for sufficient write file permissions

Moving a store from one server to another server, you’re bound to have small issues.
