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

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"?).
