Web browser: --- Bug ID: 48149 Summary: Persistent "Unable to write to directory" Installer error with SQLite backend when SELinux is enabled Product: MediaWiki Version: 1.22-git Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: Unprioritized Component: Installer Assignee: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org Reporter: aklap...@wikimedia.org CC: innocentkil...@gmail.com Classification: Unclassified Mobile Platform: --- I tried to install 1.22alpha (from git master) on Fedora 18 with SQLite backend. Puzzled why I still got "Unable to write to the directory X. Change its permissions so that the webserver can write to it, and try again." even after running "chmod a+rwx" on that directory, I finally realized that running setenforce 0 does the trick. SELinux to blame here, but not clear at all. So I'm wondering whether it's worth to check for it, or at least to mention in the error. Maybe combined with checking system/distro (via "lsb_release -a"?) and/or checking the SELinux status (via "cat /etc/sysconfig/selinux"?). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
