About Installation

highclever

There are a few problems during installation. How to set chmod permissions on the terminal? There is a "500 Internal Server Error" after installation. Is there someone to tell me step by step?

jordanjay29

The basic instruction for chmod is chmod -R 666 foldername where 666 is the permission level. You may need to use it with sudo if your account does not have elevated privileges. Also make sure the flarum folder is owned or accessible by the php user.

If there's a 500 error, this may be resolved when your permissions or ownership issues are fixed. If that doesn't resolve it, we can continue troubleshooting. This tutorial may help with setting those permissions.

Thanks for your reply. I'm trying it on the local server right now. It seems a little difficult.

What are the chmod permissions for the site home directory and other folders?

highclever

Hi there,

Apache "mod_rewrite" is already installed on the my local server. There is a "500 Internal Server Error" during access. Could you please help?

highclever There is a "500 Internal Server Error"

Please get your logs and find the actual error message. We can't help otherwise.

Setting debug to true might help.

sudo chown -R <web-user>: storage

The storage directory isn't accessable to Flarum.

I tried the command, but the result is the same.

luceos

You have to replace <web-user> with the username your site runs as. ?

highclever

luceos

I've already changed.

luceos

highclever you have to make sure that specific folders are owned by the web user.

highclever

luceos

How can I set web user permission?

highclever

Problem solved. Thanks everyone.
