2 issues whilst setting up flarum

itzkv

Hey there 😁

Whilst spending the last 2 days attempting to install flarum I've been stuck on the same errors. which are as follows
#1 Warning: file_put_contents(/www/flarum/storage/sessions/gdCZnE9fzjyIVIAi5bj2KTi0MI28XHLeUtCcT6tu): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /www/flarum/vendor/illuminate/filesystem/Filesystem.php on line 122

#2 Fatal error: Uncaught Laminas\HttpHandlerRunner\Exception\EmitterException: Output has been emitted previously; cannot emit response in /www/flarum/vendor/laminas/laminas-httphandlerrunner/src/Exception/EmitterException.php:24 Stack trace: #0 /www/flarum/vendor/laminas/laminas-httphandlerrunner/src/Emitter/SapiEmitterTrait.php(40): Laminas\HttpHandlerRunner\Exception\EmitterException::forOutputSent() #1 /www/flarum/vendor/laminas/laminas-httphandlerrunner/src/Emitter/SapiEmitter.php(27): Laminas\HttpHandlerRunner\Emitter\SapiEmitter->assertNoPreviousOutput() #2 /www/flarum/vendor/laminas/laminas-httphandlerrunner/src/RequestHandlerRunner.php(98): Laminas\HttpHandlerRunner\Emitter\SapiEmitter->emit(Object(Laminas\Diactoros\Response\HtmlResponse)) #3 /www/flarum/vendor/flarum/core/src/Http/Server.php(42): Laminas\HttpHandlerRunner\RequestHandlerRunner->run() #4 /www/flarum/public/index.php(26): Flarum\Http\Server->listen() #5 {main} thrown in /www/flarum/vendor/laminas/laminas-httphandlerrunner/src/Exception/EmitterException.php on line 24

I have tried the following:
sudo chown -R www-data: storage &
sudo chmod -R 755 flarum

any other information needed just let me know and ill be happy to add it

thanks for the help

itzkv can you confirm you ran php flarum cache:clear after setting those permissions? Can you see which user nginx or apache runs at?

itzkv

luceos
after running that i get the following

There are no commands defined in the "cache" namespace.

luceos

itzkv this happens when Flarum is not installed. Are you in the right directory and/or is Flarum installed already?

Please post the output of php flarum info if that does work.

luceos

Command "info" is not defined.
is the output

itzkv

update: turns out my big brain never ran php flarum install.

i have now done so and am faced with hopefully the last error

You ran the php flarum command as a different user than www-data. Chown the whole storage directory to that user. See the above command I posted for sessions, but strip sessions from the path.

its worked!! thank you so much. turns out the panel I use doesn't use www-data as the web user instead just uses www
