Setup Permission Issue During Setup - Not reflect after change permission

azmim · November 17, 2017, 10:13am

Hi Guys,

In regarding to the permission on prerequisites installation i’ve follow the resolution based on the previous cases, eg:
[Solved] Setup permission errors
[Solved] Install InvoicePlane on subdomain

But none of it workable for me.
My issue as below.

As above prerequisites, it showing that :

./ipconfig.php is not writable
./application/logs is not writable

below is the file permission which I set to 777 & 755 it still showing no writable.

I do have my rewrite_module enabled as well.

[root@labtest html]# httpd -M | grep rewrite_module

[root@labtest html]#

Please advise on this.
Thank you in advance.

I think you have some other problems because the setup is not looking like it should look…
Please check your browser for any 404 errors.

azmim · November 17, 2017, 10:37am

Hi Kovah,

Thank you for your quick respond.

As above screenshot, I didnt faced any 404 error.
Below is the errorlog from my server. No abnormal error…

Any other configuration i need to look for?

Kovah · November 17, 2017, 10:55am

Sorry but these logs do not help. Please check for errors inside your browser (developer tools > network tab). Please google if you don’t know how to do so.

azmim · November 17, 2017, 11:02am

Got it.

Please download the package from the website. The github repository is for developers only.

azmim · November 17, 2017, 12:09pm

No more 404 error. Permission issue still persist.
Does it could be on server side?.

Kovah · November 17, 2017, 12:21pm

Maybe user permissions or something like that?

azmim · November 17, 2017, 2:40pm

I had verified, the file & folder permission is 777 .

I was running on CentOS 7, 64bit previously & last night I had setup another server CentOS 6 64bit & successfully installed Invoice Plane on CentOS 6 64bit without any single error.

Unknown caused related to CentOS 7.

Kovah · November 18, 2017, 8:20am

thank you for this information!

DewaldGe · November 23, 2017, 1:47pm

Hi Kovah
I just upgraded to Fedora 27 and am now experiencing exact same problem.
Has Invoice Plane been successfully installed on the version. Previous version worked like a dream.

This blog post will explain your issue in detail:
https://www.svnlabs.com/blogs/centos-7-selinux-apache-php-writeaccess-permission/

Basically CentOS 7 SELinux installed by default that is protecting you by not allowing you to change .php files all willy nilly.

This is the command you are looking for to disable those SELinux Protections
#chcon -Rv --type=httpd_sys_rw_content_t /var/www/html/

Thanks Benjamin, it solved it for me too under Centos7
