XF 1.2 New Install fails at start - help

[framer]

I'm on my own server, fedora core 19

1. I ran the script to test the server for compatibility with xenForo which passed.

2. I set the permissions

CHMOD 0777 data
CHMOD 0777 internal_data

verified the permission change

3. I then open my browser and point it to local.server.name/install

I get a message that I need to CHMOD the two directories to 0777 which I've already done.


What am I missing ????

Make sure you chmod them as the user and not as root. Also verify that config.php is setup on 644

The errors I'm getting


XenForo 1.2.3 - Errors

The following errors occurred while verifying that your server can run XenForo:

The directory /var/www/html/data must be writable. Please change the permissions on this directory to be world writable (chmod 0777). If the directory does not exist, please create it.
The directory /var/www/html/internal_data must be writable. Please change the permissions on this directory to be world writable (chmod 0777). If the directory does not exist, please create it.

Please correct these errors and try again.


Could this be a firewall issue? SElinux issue? The browser pointed to localhost/install.

It could be an SELinux issue. Basically, if we detect that we can't write to that directory, then we return that error. If you're using an uncommon setup to permissions (and SELinux is very much uncommon), you may need to take extra steps to ensure the directories/created files can be written to.

 

[framer]

SElinux was the issue. It needs to be disabled.


Thanks for the assist,

OK the boards up but when I ran the file heath check in admin/tools I got this. All the files are in the xenforo dir there is no xenforo/full dir. I created a xenforo/full dir and moved the file to the correct place and I would then get contents in files not correct.

Please advise.

Upload the files again.
Use an alternative FTP program if you still experience problems, I recommend WinSCP.

Strange the archive extracted without the js/full dir I switched extraction programs and it now checks out 100%.

Now on to the conversion -- from VB4 The db almost a million posting.
