Piwigo - no write access

Hi,
I upgrade piwigo, but now not working. When access on site:

Piwigo encountered an irrecoverable error
./_data/templates_c no write access

#1    mkgetdir /usr/share/webapps/piwigo/include/template.class.php(101)
#2    Template::__construct /usr/share/webapps/piwigo/include/common.inc.php(218)
#3    include_once /usr/share/webapps/piwigo/index.php(11)

Tried
chmod 777 /usr/share/webapps/piwigo/_data/templates_c/ -R
But still error.

Where is error?
Thanks for reply.

Re: Piwigo - no write access

How did you upgrade piwigo?
Did you create a database backup, could get you on track in a short time..

Using 777 isn't a solution of course, and in fact you shouldn't use that kind of bad workarounds..
Use 'chown -R www-data:www-data piwigo/...'

Can't tell you where the exact error is, still.
Btw. I had no problems, but what php version are you running, 7.4? could be piwigo is not yet up to speed..

edit: I see _data has full read and write access, at least her it does(default).

Re: Piwigo - no write access

chown -R http:http piwigo/ not work.

I upgrade piwigo over  piwigo update site.
PHP running 7.4.1-1
nginx 1.16.1

Testing uninstall piwigo, delete piwigo folder and install piwigo aur.
Some error:

an error occurred
Give write access (chmod 777) to "_data/" directory at the root of your Piwigo installation

Re: Piwigo - no write access

I checked and piwigo does indeed run on 7.4 already.
I can't say anything about nginx, running apache for all my local servers.
Also I didn't use the zip, used the netinstall from github, maybe try that one..

Now I have searched if others encountered the same problem are you running SE-linux?
You did 'chmod -R 777 piwigo/_data', right?

Re: Piwigo - no write access

Hmm, maybe clone the github repo to your web space and see if that solves anything..
I that wont work I would suggest to open a bug report on https://github.com/Piwigo/Piwigo/issues if your sure is nothing wrong with your environment (nginx/mysql/php)

I'm a bit out of ideas :\
