Webroot and 500 HTTP Error

vasc

Hey! I have a 2 problems with flarum:

I don't know how I can set the webroot for flarum so that I don't have to type in -> testdomain.net/forum/public
When I try to install the forum (fill out my database credentials) and then hit continue it give me a 500 error

Here is the adress for my flarum installation: https://banany.net/forum/

vasc check the Flarum logs at <flarum>/storage/logs and your webserver logs for details on the 500 error.

For the webroot, either: it's a VPS, and you can edit the virtual host / site config and change DocumentRoot (apache) or root (nginx). If it's a managed service (shared hosting), there should be a setting somewhere to customize the domain root (by default public_html). If none of this is possible, see https://flarum.org/docs/install.html#customizing-paths . Please note that there are a few changes in the latest Flarum version and there's now a site.php simplifying where to edit some of the paths.

Ok so a quick update I downloaded another version from flarium which doesn't has this public folder. I tried to install it but the 500 HTTP Error is still here, but now I have the other error "fixed"

Also there are no logs...

You need to set display_errors to On in your php.ini file and restart apache. Then you'll see the errors why you're getting 500.

Ok thanks. I'll do that.

So this is my error -> https://imgur.com/a/GGivth1

The file permissions for your storage folder are configured incorrectly. The user that flarum is running under doesn't have permissions to do stuff.

vasc

So...? 🙂

askvortsov

You're going to need to figure out which user apache/flarum is running under, and change the file ownerships to that user.

Can I just chmod 777 the folders?

Now I have this error -> https://prnt.sc/riqpmu
