Cannot write to directory

[rhowes]

Hi All,

I have installed phpbugtracker to manage bug tracking but get error:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The "c_templates" subdirectory is not writeable by the web process. This needs to be corrected before the installation can proceed so the templates can be compiled by smarty. Please reload this page when this has been corrected.

On a unix system such as linux, this can either be accomplished by making the directory writeable by everyone...
$ chmod a+w c_templates

... or by changing the ownership of the directory to the webserver. For example, if your web server is running as the user

http://www-data,

you can change the ownership as follows (you must become root first):
$ chown

http://www-data

c_templates
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I have changed permissions as suggested in the error message above (even tried 777) so there must be an Apache config file setting preventing writing to the document root (only thing I can think of). Anyone know how to fix this?

I am running Apache 2.0.40 on RedHat 8.0 and my docroot is /var/

http://www/html.

The app is installed in /var/

http://www/html/phpbt

Cheers,

Richard Howes

Try adding this to your directory container:

Order allow,deny
Allow from all

If you already have this, then double check the permissions. The following command will give rwx privs to the designated directory and all its subs:

chmod -R 777 /var/

http://www/html/phpbt

Hi,

Checked permissions and the other suggestions above. Still no go. I am going to try re-installing Apache from the RPM (I build it from source).

Cheers

check your permissions again!

the error-message said:
'The "c_templates" subdirectory is not writeable by the web process.'

This doesn't seem to be the directory '/var/

http://www/html/phpbt'

!!
Perhapse it's a subdirectory in the phpbt-directory...

Cheers
