Hi, so I have trying to install myBB on my local Server (xampp) and it seems that this pops up every time I do it,
http://prntscr.com/8qy1km it says that it doesn't have the permission to write file uploads directory, and the avatar uploads directory and after some research I just realized that Xampp doesn't need chmod. How can I solve this error?
Regards,

Since you are using XAMPP there is no need to worry about CHMOD (unfortunately..). Are you sure that you haven't deleted/renamed the directory? (uploads/ and uploads/avatars/)

I was thinking the same thing, since I am using Xampp I don't need anything but I didn't rename/deleted the Directory
The Problem no longer consists, I have tried reinstalling it and it worked, I am not sure what caused the error but it's fixed now and I'm happy.
I use XAMPP and use chmod 777 R direcory_name every time I add a file or folder.

You will still have to set the permissions under:
Right click Folder > Properties > Security - then set file/folder permissions as necessary.

Indeed, you can set the permissions on Windows but it was more likely that the OP renamed the folder. Unless he was running XAMPP under a guest account the write privileges were granted, since the other folders had correct permissions I assumed that this isn't a conflict caused by XAMPP being installed on the OS partition.
I am not a huge fan of Windows' permission management but that's a whole other debate.
oops. I thought he was on Ubuntu.
