Permissions Problem

igos · Post by **igos** » Sat Oct 08, 2005 12:48 pm

I have installed fresh Fedora Core with Apache, and so on.
I tried to install Serendipity, but I have some problems with permissions.
When i tried to install it sayes me that folders are unwritable (but i chmod them to 777)
First problem I fix by linking templates_c to /tmp/templates_c and it's working.
But I don't know how to fix second problem with permissions to /home/igos/public_html/ where my weblog is.

How can I fix it?

Can I install manualy?
What files should I edit to install manualy?

Is your blog directly under /home/igos/public_html or is in in a subdirectory like: /home/igos/public_html/blog?

In the first case, try: chmod -R 777 /home/igos/public_html
in the second case, try: chmod -R 777 /home/igos/public_html/blog

then try to install again.

Note: This method is not recommended, but with such permission problems, it's the best way to get it running.

now I know what was wrong.
I disable SElinux and now everything is good, but after installation it return me a white page, but admin page works.
What now?

Check your apache and PHP error logs; a white page usually means that PHP is coredumping.
