The /var/www/public/assets directory is not writable.
Please chmod this directory and its contents to 0775.

The /var/www/storage directory is not writable.
Please chmod this directory and its contents to 0775.

and one somthing else , when i try this chown -R www-data:www-data public/assets/ it says:

chown: invalid user: ‘www-data:www-data’

Hi,
at first disable your SELINUX permanent by etid this file:

sudo vi /etc/selinux/config
then, set /var/www folder and sun files owner to "apache"
