Cannot install flarum - chmod 755 doesn't work

VanDerLars

Hi,

I installed flarum over ssh on my dedicated server. After the install I cannot access the startup page:

Look at this:
http://support.stadtlandnetz.de/

But when I chmod the directories, nothing happens.

What can I do?

Sinamics

chmod -R <permissionsettings> <dirname>

VanDerLars

yes, of course ;-)

I used:

chmod -R 775 assets
chmod -R 775 storage

Edit:
if I use 777, the it works. But would never give a file or directory the 777-permission.

What else can I do?

VanDerLars make sure the directories are writable by the website or php user. Simply chmodding is the easy way out.

VanDerLars

Okay. Installation is done. Now, if I want to go to the administration page, the error "Internal Server Error" occurs.

After setting the permissions to 777 again, the following error occurs:
"Something went wrong while trying to load the full version of this site."

What is another way?

VanDerLars

I made a little workaround:

I gave the Site 777 permissions for the installation, that worked.
After installation I returned to 775.

Seems to work.

VanDerLars first solve that error, enable debug and check the logs of your website, webserver or php.

here are the logs after enableing the debug-mode. The Site is now fully chrashed.

VanDerLars your assets directory can't be written into by the website user or it can't remove the existing asset file.

VanDerLars

and how can I fix this?

Kulga

The group must be changed to the php user. That is the role of the second 7 in 775.

The group is often www-data
So chgrp -R www-data assets storage
may resolve it
