Is It Possible To Install on cPanel (Namecheap Hosting)

DonaldLouch

I can't find a "config.php" file luceos.

luceos

DonaldLouch then check the error log of your website 😉

DonaldLouch

Okay luceos! So here's what it said:

/home/<Username>/public_html/forum/.htaccess: <Directory not allowed here

luceos

DonaldLouch I am presuming where it says "/path/to/your/forum" you change it to where it is such as "/home/<username>/public_html/form"?

where do you see this?

DonaldLouch /home/<Username>/public_html/forum/.htaccess: <Directory not allowed here

what is the content of your htaccess?

DonaldLouch

luceos: On the download page - http://flarum.org/docs/installation/

Heres what I have in my htaccess!

Remove these lines:

<Directory "/home/<username>/public_html/forum/">
    AllowOverride All
</Directory>

Ps you should have edited the /home/<username>/public_html/forum to the path of the Flarum installation, but AllowOverride is not a setting you should have any access to anyway.

Where did you get this .htaccess from?

DonaldLouch

I did that luceos! Now I have a new error:

SoftException in Application.cpp:261: File "/home/<username>/public_html/forum/index.php" is writeable by group

UaMV

luceos I think this was probably pulled from the installation docs.

I'm finding this thread helpful today as I install on shared hosting. Thank you!

luceos

@DonaldLouch I don't say this too often, but please understand Flarum is in beta. Having said that, it implies you have to do some work yourself to make it work. Did you google the error?

The error is in fact self explanatory; you need to chmod the files correctly. Quite funny, because this error is specific for your hosting environment.

DonaldLouch

I am so sorry luceos! Yeah, i should've seen "writeable" and know that it was chmod, which I have seen and fixed these errors so many times before from Wordpress... My absolute apologies, I have been a little distracted today.

But yeah, I just removed the group ability to write and it works!

Thanks so much!

DonaldLouch --no-dev

Hello which file you chmod to get it work ?

DonaldLouch

insha, I do believe it was "admin.php", "api.php", "config.php", and "index.php"!

Also, I think I chose chmod 755!

vrakpant

Hi! I am also using namecheap to host flarum at http://venstreklikk.no/forum, but I'm having problems with 500 Internal Server Error. What version of PHP and what SSL are you using to make yours run?

DonaldLouch

Hey vrakpant,

I am using PHP version 5.6 and I am using the NameCheap SSL so I think it's the PositiveSSL by Comodo!

I ran into a "500 Internal Server Error" as well and I think I just changed the CHMOD to 755 on the files listed in the above post!

Good luck!!!

iegyi

I can't find config.php to chmod it ! i can find only .editorconfig

Franz

iegyi That means Flarum wasn't installed successfully. Have you installed it completely?

iegyi Please use the other thread to discuss this support issue.

Hello , I installed the script but when i go to the Administration i get this message
http://www.leprofesseur.net/IO
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator at webmaster@leprofesseur.net to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Smaily Does the forum frontend load? It looks like your URL rewriting is not set up properly.

Please open up a new thread about this, though, if you still need help.
