i am trying to update the core of drupal with drush on openshift by entering "drush up drupal" but im getting this error message
Directory /var/lib/openshift/[userid] exists, but is not writable. Please check directory permissions.Unable to create backup directory /var/lib/openshift/[userid]//drush-backups/drupal1.
ive tried
chmod +w /var/lib/openshift/[userid]
to make the directory writeable but i dont have the necessary permissions.
What is the best way to update drupal core on openshift if drush doesnt work?
Thanks for any info on that!
