:( ../gui/templates_c directory is writable: Failed :(

[neta12]

Hi all,

"./gui/templates_c directory is writable: Failed "

I've just started the installation. At the Checking part, I got the failure above.
Please let me know what should I do in order to fix this,
Thank you a lot!!!

You need to allow php access the directory.

Login to server via telnet or ssh.
Navigate to <testlink_root>/gui/ directory.
#chmod a+w templates_c

About the DB - if i want to use both Bugzilla and Testlink, should I still create a different DB for the Testlink ? (I guess yes but wanna make sure), Thank you again!

[havlatm]

Yes. That's two independent products with possible cooperation.

(I added my last reply as a new topic by mistake, sorry )

While trying to install TestLink, I got:
"TestLink couldn't write the config file. Please copy the following into the ../config_db.inc.php file:"

Using the "find" command, I cannot filnd this config_db.inc.php file.
Is there a chance that there is no such file in my system? (FC4, MYSQL, Apache2)

Thanks a lot again, your help is so apprecriated !

I don't use the manual installation but I did view its instructions and decided to create this file by my self.
I hope it was a correct thing to do, any way, the TestLink home page is up
Thank you all

You have not right access to testlink_root dir for php.

[neta12]

Thanks again.
Is chmod +w for testlink_root_folder is enough?
Is there a specific command to enable access for the php ?
Thank you!

Hi,
I've just finish the installation and trying to build my new TestLink
After adding new components / TC / etc... I see the warning below:

Warning: set_time_limit() [function.set-time-limit]: Cannot set time limit in safe mode in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/testlink/lib/functions/treeMenu.inc.php on line 290 :

I added permissions to all the TestLink folders (chmod 777) in order to let the program an access to add and modify vatiables there.

It seem to not be the right thing to do case the warning is still there. each adding to the tree, trigger aother warning. How do I fix it?

Thank you

[havlatm]

Some users with amount of testcases need more time than is default for work. You could disable this line without harm.
You can also modify your php settings to disappear this warning. Ask Dr. Google for more.

running the auto install, it still reply errors as below:

Ken,

We set ours to have all permissions: chmod 777 /gui/templates_c

see if that works.
