Hello!,

I have downloaded the arachni repo and I'm trying the run the ./arachni* commands. However, i see the below given error for all commands i.e. ./arachni, ./arachni_web, ./arachni_web_create_user and so no.

Error:
[ERROR] Directory and subdirectories must be writtable: /arachni-ui-web/config/component_cache

I've tried:
Changing the permission on the folder. Tried with sudo and even deleted the "arachni-ui-web folder. but still the sam error.

   Hello,

   I'm not sure what to tell you, the directory must still not be writtable for some reason.
   Also, why did you delete the "arachni-ui-web" folder? Arachni can't work without it and it wouldn't solve the error.

   Hello,
   I noticed that having arachni binaries in a path that contain spaces would trigger that error.
