Hi, I just upgraded one of my SM installs to 1.2.11, and now I'm getting the dreaded "Error opening ../data/default_pref Could not create initial preference file! ../../data/ should be writable by user apache"
Hetre's the $SM perms: -rw-r--r-- 1 apache shadow-r 4463 Dec 30 22:36 AUTHORS -rw-r--r-- 1 apache shadow-r 32544 Feb 9 21:01 ChangeLog drwxrwxr-x 2 apache shadow-r 4096 Mar 9 09:59 config -rwxr-xr-x 1 apache shadow-r 92 Dec 26 2001 configure drwxr-xr-x 3 apache shadow-r 4096 Feb 9 21:16 contrib -rw-r--r-- 1 apache shadow-r 15131 Dec 16 1999 COPYING drwxrwxr-x 2 apache shadow-r 4096 Feb 9 21:16 data drwxr-xr-x 3 apache shadow-r 4096 Feb 9 21:16 doc drwxr-xr-x 2 apache shadow-r 4096 Feb 9 21:16 functions drwxr-xr-x 24 apache shadow-r 4096 Feb 9 21:16 help drwxr-xr-x 2 apache shadow-r 4096 Mar 9 09:54 images -rw-r--r-- 1 apache shadow-r 341 Feb 19 2002 index.php -rw-r--r-- 1 apache shadow-r 7848 Nov 11 16:01 INSTALL drwxr-xr-x 35 apache shadow-r 4096 Feb 9 21:16 locale drwxr-xr-x 25 apache shadow-r 4096 Mar 9 09:24 plugins drwxr-xr-x 2 apache shadow-r 4096 Feb 9 21:16 po -rw-r--r-- 1 apache shadow-r 2645 Jan 27 2002 README -rw-r--r-- 1 apache shadow-r 4918 Feb 9 21:05 ReleaseNotes drwxr-xr-x 2 apache shadow-r 4096 Feb 9 21:16 src drwxr-xr-x 3 apache shadow-r 4096 Feb 9 21:16 themes -rw-r--r-- 1 apache shadow-r 4890 Feb 13 2002 UPGRADE Here's the $SM/data perms: -rw-r--r-- 1 apache shadow-r 82 Mar 8 2001 default_pref -rw-r--r-- 1 apache shadow-r 469 Dec 23 2001 index.php I set the data dir to ../../data/.
