directory permissions

Post by carlow »

Hello,

I am trying tio install Testlink 1.9 under

- openSuSE 11.1
- PHP 5.2.14
- MySQL 5.0.67

During installation there are 3 faults concerning read/write permissions:

Checking if /gui/templates_c directory exists Failed!
Checking if /logs directory exists Failed!
Checking if /upload_area directory exists Failed!

although all the directories are there and have 777-permissions.

(owner is wwwrun, user www)

What's my mistake?

Best regards

Did you install under something like /var/www? If so does /gui/templates_c exist under /var/www/gui/templates_c? Also the logs and upload_area all must exist in the root directory you installed.

Hallo jack90,

thank you for your reply.

All the installed files and directories are in their proper position.

Document-root
testlink-directories (777 permissions)
sub-directories (777 permissions)
files (644 permissions)

After having had a look at the appache error log I think that the problems appears because the PHP-safe mode is enabled.

I will try to check this today.

Best regards
