Permission Setting Problem While Installation

MuhsinMohamedPc

Hello, I got a problem while installing Flarum on my Window7 Xampp server. The error was:

The directory is not writable.
Please chmod this directory and its contents to 0775.

I changed the permission mode to read and write access. But when I am accessing the page. I am getting the same problem again and again. I tried changing the permission to different levels. Nothing solving the problem.

You can't install Flarum like other PHP scripts on XAMPP. You need to use Composer.

Check this guide : https://discuss.flarum.org/d/2187-how-to-install-flarum-locally-on-windows/7

Yes. I used Compose and well I am on the installation page now.

The files need to be owned by the user who runs xampp.

No Problem.

Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in ... I got a error like this

MuhsinMohamedPc This usually indicates other errors (something running on a infinite loop for example). Check your error logs if possible. I'd start with php and webserver error logs ?

Open php.ini using xampp control panel -> config-> php.ini
Find max_execution_time and increase the value after it.
300 would be appropriate.

chirag

and also find memory_limit and change it to 254M

These are usually located within /var/log. Look for an apache or nginx subdirectory in there.

You can also try this command:

php --info | grep error

But I think it will increase the loading time.

I am installing it on centos and I got the same error. I have set the whole directory with chmod 777. but it is still not working. any ideas?
if I want to change the directory owner, to which user should I change?
