Can't get it to run on Mac OSX yosemite

holyxiaoxin

I grabbed the package from http://flarum.org/download/

Warning: require(/Users/user/Sites/flarum/flarum/vendor/autoload.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Users/user/Sites/flarum/flarum/bootstrap.php on line 21

Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required '/Users/user/Sites/flarum/flarum/vendor/autoload.php' (include_path='.:') in /Users/user/Sites/flarum/flarum/bootstrap.php on line 21

I tried to recursively chown every files and folder but also ran into permission issues.

Fastidious On this note, it may be worth checking out Vagrant, holyxiaoxin. Though, if you want to run it natively on Mac OS X, by all means. I am just a Linux fan 😛.

Vagrant essentially can setup a test environment in the background, through VirtualBox for you to test deployment or development environments. You're able to easily run web applications and view them through your browser in OS X.

holyxiaoxin Just installed it on my mac and had same problem. So just do this and everything wii work fine

sudo find ~/Sites/flarum -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
Password:
find ~/Sites/flarum/flarum/storage -type d -exec chmod 777 {} \;
find ~/Sites/flarum -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

This is due to insufficient permissions.

You need to chmod your flarum directory recursively like so:
chmod 775 -R <directory>

You would have better luck running a flavor of Linux in Virtualbox.
