Synology NAS - ERROR: Feed could not be created, undefined

Hello ,
I am new to the world of Linux and servers but have pretty good grasp of basics of database etc.
Here i the problem. I installed Emoncms on my Synology NAS DS214 with .DSM 6.1.1-15101 Update 4
EMONCMS is 9.8.6 | 2017.05.10

when I try to create feed I get the error- “ERROR: Feed could not be created, undefined”
Same error for PHPFINA and PHPFIWA engines

The emoncms log shows entry - ERROR|PHPFina.php|create_meta() could not write meta data file fopen(/var/lib/phpfina/8.meta): failed to open stream: Operation not permitted
2017-05-28 15:00:53.806|WARN|feed_model.php|create() failed to create feed model feedid=8

following is the log from debug console -

did you get this to work? and do you remember what the fix was?

I broke so many things in PHP and MariaDB that Finally I reset it back and used a Raspberry pi which was much easier
