TestLink installation failed on Managed Web Server

[zd3rHn3uS]

After uploading Testlink on managed Hosting Server, I start running the installation and got the following two errors:

Code: Select all

Checking if /var/testlink/logs/ directory exists [S] --> FAILED
Checking if /var/testlink/upload_area/ directory exists [S] --> FAILED

I do not have the permissions to create this paths:

Code: Select all

mkdir /var/testlink: permission denied

So, can anyone give me some help? Many thanks!

The `README.md` does not provide any help.

Code: Select all

/var/testlink/logs/
/var/testlink/upload_area/

Can someone help me? - How to install TestLink on web-server?

After hours of research I found a solution:

a) Make copy of `custom_config.inc.php.example` and rename it to `custom_config.inc.php`.

b) Add two lines into `custom_config.inc.php`:

Code: Select all

// $tlCfg->log_path = '/var/testlink-ga-testlink-cde/logs/'; /* unix example */
$tlCfg->log_path = '../logs'; /* for web-server */
// $g_repositoryPath = '/var/testlink-ga-testlink-code/upload_area/';  /* unix example */
$g_repositoryPath = '../upload_area';  /* for web-server */

c) upload `custom_config.inc.php` to your web-server.

Dear user:
if in your company you have people with the minimum sysadmin skills, you can not use hours to understand how to fix.
Testlink documentation cannot be perfect but is IMHO good enough.
