FebriTriHarmoko You can create a new user, and then set up Flarum there. The command depends on the OS you chose for your VPS/dedicated server.

FebriTriHarmoko I know Nginx very well but if you have to post this maybe you should be using Apache?

Start over the dir install. It should work out of the box.

mkdir /var/www/xkomo.com/forum_backup/
cd /var/www/xkomo.com/forum/
mv * .* /var/www/xkomo.com/forum_backup/ careful with this command see. Empties your forum root.
composer create-project flarum/flarum . --stability=beta
chmod -R 775 /var/www/xkomo.com/forum/assets/
chmod -R 775 /var/www/xkomo.com/forum/storage/

If permissions errors, see: https://discuss.flarum.org/d/6759-installation-directory-permission-error/6

Based on your questions above I would recommend using apache. Also see:

For Unix systems, it's something like the following:

$ useradd flarum # create user called 'flarum'
$ passwd flarum # set password for 'flarum' user
$ adduser flarum sudo # add 'flarum' user to the sudo group

Then, you can log in to that user via su flarum when you are logged in as root or flarum@IP

datitisev ok i get it ?
thanks for your reply.
and i want ask again, how to migrate flarum (old hosting) to flarum (new cloud host *vultr)?

datitisev

FebriTriHarmoko The files should not be important, you can just create a new project and add the extensions via composer. For the data, you may want to export the MySQL data and import it into mysql on Vultr. You'll have to set it up, of course. Not sure how to do that, tho.

FebriTriHarmoko Hm, you are probably running that in the home directory. You may want to create a dir and then cd into there.

i try run again and than i have this notice "[InvalidArgumentException]
Project directory ./ is not empty."

FebriTriHarmoko I don't know much Nginx, sorry.

FebriTriHarmoko

$ cd /var/www/xkomo.com/forum
$ sudo composer create-project flarum/flarum . --stability=beta

now i want ask how to setting nginx?
server’s configuration block like this post FebriTriHarmoko
because my server’s configuration block use /etx/nginx/sites-available/domain ...
i use server’s configuration block same with my site or i need to make server’s configuration block for my forum ?

jordanjay29

FebriTriHarmoko Sounds like there are either permission or ownership issues. Can you run ls -la in that folder and paste the output here?

FebriTriHarmoko

hydnj how to use apache?
if i use apache for my flarum...
how about my site use nginx ? will error or no?

FebriTriHarmoko

hydnj chmod -R 775 /var/www/xkomo.com/forum/assets/
chmod -R 775 /var/www/xkomo.com/forum/storage/

i already to run this command.
but my flarum still can't write ?

hydnj

FebriTriHarmoko

Check the user permissions. You can also use 777 instead of 775 but temporarily its not recommended in production.

FebriTriHarmoko

hydnj so, i must set premission to 777 ? i install flarum and than i back to 775 again?

FebriTriHarmoko

can anybody help me ?

FebriTriHarmoko

i already run this command
chmod -R 775 /var/www/xkomo.com/forum/assets/
chmod -R 775 /var/www/xkomo.com/forum/storage/

FebriTriHarmoko

but still not work ?

Ralkage

FebriTriHarmoko Try chown with the www-data user since you're using Nginx. This typically fixes the issue.

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data path/to/your/flarum-root-directory

FebriTriHarmoko

Ralkage ok i get it.
and now i want ask.
how to setting nginx server configuration block ?
if i install flarum in my folder in my site. like this : domain.com/flarum

i see in : http://flarum.org/docs/installation/
i must add this
location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string; } location /api { try_files $uri $uri/ /api.php?$query_string; } location /admin { try_files $uri $uri/ /admin.php?$query_string; } ... .. gzip_disable "MSIE [1-6]\.(?!.*SV1)";
