Installing Flarum Dev-Master

matotubol

i think its because of the folder in public (assets) .

Frink

matotubol Ok, I will try chmodding that one!

Frink

matotubol Nope, that wasn't it....

Frink

luceos I tried re-installing from scratch. I finished the installation, and now it says: An error occurred while trying to load this page.

So, I tried php flarum install. Then I got this error:

username@DEV-COMPUTER:/var/www/flarumdev$ php flarum install
Please fix the following errors before we can continue with the installation.
The  directory is not writable.
Please chmod this directory and its contents to 0775.

What is going on? I have chmodded all the directories multiple times, and I can never get it!

Frink what user owns the files?

Frink

jordanjay29 root, but I have given access to all the other users

Frink

jordanjay29 I also ran sudo php flarum install in hopes that running it as root would fix it, but that didn't work either....

Edit: I ran sudo chown -R frink flarumdev and even that didn't work... I also ran this command on the public, storage, and vendor folders

jordanjay29

Reinstall on a non-root user.

Frink

jordanjay29 Like, make a new non-root user, and install it like that?

Frink

jordanjay29 OK, I am pretty sure it is an issue with the command-line installer. I tried installing it on my webhost. I chmodded all directories and files to 0775 and tried running php flarum install and I got

Please fix the following errors before we can continue with the installation.
The  directory is not writable.
Please chmod this directory and its contents to 0775.

What is up?

I just tried an install and noticed something. The installer page does not show up if the url is not /. Which means you have to set up a virtualhost so the public folder is at <http/https>://<domain/ip>/

When using a virtualhost (or the php dev server inside the public folder) I can install the latest dev-master fine following luceos instructions.

And as a foot note, if you don't know why using sudo will make a difference, this means you probably shouldn't run it as sudo. You can only mess up things if you don't know what you're doing.

clarkwinkelmann I got the installer to work, but once it finished, it gave me an error:

How did you get yours to work?

EDIT: Think I see where I went wrong, re-installing from scratch

Frink

ARGHHH! Still did it!

Johann

Try leaving blank the prefix... That did it for me!

Frink

Johann Alright, I will give that a try!

Frink

Johann Woohoo! That fixed it. Thanks a ton man!

Frink

How would I install Flarum dev-master on shared hosting? I can't adjust the document root, so how else would I do this?

Johann

Frink I guess is just a matter of installing it first on your local computer and then copying the files and the database dump to the shared server.

Frink

Johann Even that wouldn't work, because the document root has to be set to the public/ dir...

Johann

Frink I am sure there are ways to do that on shared hosting via cPanel, mod_rewrite, etc. If not, then you may have to switch to another provider that supports that i.e.: Hostgator

Frink

Johann mod_rewrite may work, I didn't think about that. It doesn't really matter for me as I have a DO droplet, but some of the core devs may know of a mod_rewrite workaround.
