Another thing: there is nothing in the views directory, wouldn't that be the problem?

BlameDylan there is nothing in the views directory, wouldn't that be the problem?

Yeah, that is weird. There should be files.

luceos

BlameDylan it doesn't matter. it needs to create caches and stuff, you can't even write a log file now. Let alone create an error page using a error blade file.

luceos

Ok, chown to nginx 😉

GOD

I know you said you are running everything as ROOT and I know you said this is only a local install. Please keep in mind that depending on which linux distro you are using, there may be some underlying security preventing you from doing what you are doing.

It is better you run your test in the correct manner you would for a live install.

BlameDylan

@luceos Everything's permissions are now 775, and are chowned to nginx. No success.

@GOD understood, reverted to nginx user and 775. Still no difference.

Kulga

BlameDylan Once you do a recursive chmod all bets are off. I'd suggest wiping the install and re extracting.

BlameDylan

@Kulga alright, just reinstalled. Everything is owned by the Nginx user with no permissions modified.

Additionally, I set my php.ini to display errors, and this is what I get:

Warning: file_put_contents(/var/www/sub.website.com/flarum/storage/framework/views/bb70210d87a252556c175ac77e7b5232): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/sub.website.com/flarum/vendor/illuminate/filesystem/Filesystem.php on line 81

BlameDylan When you say blank page, is it blank all except for the forum title?

This for example https://github.com/flarum/core/issues/410

BlameDylan

Since I modified display_errors in my php.ini, I get the error messages above.

stallone

Toby I also got your packaged from your downloads page, but i got a 403 forbidden reply. That' s because of the lack of index.php?

Dominion

stallone At this point we're getting rather close to the release of the next beta version, which will include some important fixes for installation issues. It might be easiest just to wait for that and start fresh.

Hang in there ... it's coming ... 😉

BlameDylan

@Dominion @Toby I tried with the Beta 2 and I still get an error. See attached screenshot:
Error

The commands I ran were:

chmod 0755 /var/www/sub.domain.com
chmod -R 0755 /var/www/sub.domain.com/assets 
chmod -R 0755 /var/www/sub.domain.com/extensions 
chmod -R 0755 /var/www/sub.domain.com/flarum/storage

They all returned successful. Any ideas?

Kulga

BlameDylan who owns the files? If it's not writeable by the webserver, then it's not writeable.

0755 isn't a arbitary number. It means (in order)

No special bit
Owner of files may read, write, execute
Group of files may read and execute
Everyone else may read and execute

If you have the group of the files be the webserver and change permissions to 0775 or change the owner of the files to the webserver, either should fix that.

BlameDylan

Kulga
It is owned by nginx, the Nginx web-server user defined in the nginx.conf file.

Kulga

~~can you switch to that user? Something like~~

~~sudo su nginx~~

~~and run something like~~
~~touch /var/www/sub.domain.com/extensions/foo~~

~~and see if it succeeds or fails?~~

Edit: @luceos is correct. nginx isn't the user here. Not to mention this is a php issue and nginx doesn't actually deal with that..

BlameDylan

Kulga

This account is currently not available.

luceos

The user accessing the file is not nginx, but the php cgi client, this might be php-fpm. And normally the user is called www-data or www-run or something like that. Just check the php configuration.

Nginx is simply a proxy to php.

BlameDylan

luceos excerpt from my www.conf:

listen.owner = nginx
listen.group = nginx
listen.mode = 0776

; Unix user/group of processes
; Note: The user is mandatory. If the group is not set, the default user's group
;	will be used.
; RPM: apache Choosed to be able to access some dir as httpd
user = nginx
; RPM: Keep a group allowed to write in log dir.
group = nginx

And my nginx.conf:

user nginx;

Toby

BlameDylan Read luceos's post more carefully.

The user accessing the file is not nginx, but the php cgi client, this might be php-fpm. And normally the user is called www-data or www-run or something like that. Just check the php configuration.

You just posted your nginx config, which is exactly what luceos just said is irrelevant 🙂

Kulga

Toby Ah.. but that looks like a fpm pool file -> probably from /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf 😛
So the nginx user is indeed well.. nginx.

Personally, I would create a new pool and make the owner / group to whatever user you want owning the files. I circumvent a lot of permission stuff it seems that way. (Modifyed slightly for nginx webserver user.)

Here's a pool I have for my demo install of flarum where the very limited user demoflarum sends its php requests.

[demoflarum]


user = demoflarum
group = demoflarum

listen = /var/run/php5-fpm.$pool.sock
process.priority = -5

listen.owner = nginx
listen.group = nginx

pm = ondemand

pm.max_children = 1

pm.max_requests = 2000
pm.process_idle_timeout = 20s


chdir = /

Nginx related config

               fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.demoflarum.sock;
