Re: [owncloud-user] Can't write into config directory!

[Emil Lefherz]

apparently it can be in the webroot directory, don't worry. is it there
in your case? Because the errors do imply that it isn't there.

best,

Emil

I would check things like SELinux and similar.

Re: [owncloud-user] Can't write into config directory!

[Aziz]

Hi again and thank you for your feedback.


@Emil, yes I'm using tar file, but I didn't understand the first part of
your answer, "config directory should be somewhere else", do you mean the
config directory shouldn't be in the web server root directory ? I'm using
the following guide as reference :
https://doc.owncloud.org/server/latest/admin_manual/installation/source_installation.html

For the permissions, it's a test environment, so it's fine.


@ Carlos, I got the following error :


*Can't write into config directory! *

*This can usually be fixed by https://doc.owncloud.org/server/10.0/go.php?to=admin-dir_permissions
"
target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">giving the webserver write access to the
config directory.*

Thank you all.

Re: [owncloud-user] Can't write into config directory!

[Carlos Damken]

Hi,

You didn't write exactly which is the error you have. The permits should 
be 0644 for the folder and 0750 for the files (that does the script.


Best regards

Carlos

Hi OC Users,

I'm trying to install OwnCloud in a Centos 7 virtual machine, and got 
stuck in post installation steps with error shown in the subject.


OwnCloud directory is located in /var/www/html folder and I gave all 
the permissions for all users using the command chmod 777 -R 
/var/www/html/owncloud/


I also tried to run the bash script, from the following page :

Does anyone of you guys have a hint on how to resolve this ?

Thank you all.

Thank for the info.

I have set setenforce to 0 and it is working. I am trying the setup in a VM so 
SELinux is not a priority but I should look into it when I move into 
production.

I have more questions.

1. Will the OBS repo install the packages but not set the correct permissions?

2. Are these permissions correct and secure?
   chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/owncloud/
   chmod 777 /var/www/html/owncloud/config/
   chmod 750 /var/www/html/owncloud/data

3. I am probably responsible for making any changes to Apache config. Is that 
correct?

Re: [owncloud-user] Can't write into config directory! ownCloud 7 CentOS 7

[Vincent Petry]

Strange. If I remember well, last time I set up ownCloud 6 on CentOS 6.5
(a while ago) it did properly set the SELinux permissions.

It could be a packaging issue with CentOS 7.

Re: [owncloud-user] Can't write into config directory! ownCloud 7 CentOS 7

[Randolph Carter]

On CentOS, a typical reason for such problems comes from SELinux. I don't use 
CentOS myself so I can't tell you how to configure it correctly but at the 
forums (forum.owncloud.org) you should find some threads on this.

Hope this helps, and best regards,
Randolph

Re: [owncloud-user] Can't write into config directory! ownCloud 7 CentOS 7

[Vincent Petry]

Yes, the way you set it up should work.

Not sure why you're still getting the message.

Just saw you're using CentOS, did you also make sure to chcon the
owncloud folder to make it available ? (SELinux)

Cheers,

Vincent
