Re: installiing joomla

[Roger <arelem@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, to use localhost an username it has to be the username
to use localhost as root then root is ok.
That's why I suggested chown root:username so both owner and group have ownership.

I belive I changed it to that, I'll check when I'm home.

I noticed that the owner after default install is root:root is there a reason for this if that's not correct?

Please set up permission to apache user, probably it will be chmod apache:apache /var/www/http

Aye should have mentioned I've tried the solution that is given in the SEL popup, but doesn't help.

I'll try to change the permissions as in your suggestion when I have access to the computer again.

I've tried both Drupal and Joomla and each has it's merits - to each their own =)

I'm trying to set up Joomla on my laptop to play around with a site I'm planning. However SELinux seems to block write access for the installation routine to the direcotry /var/www/html and none of the solutions I've found by googling to allow SELinux httpd write access seems to work (installation hangs immediately). setenforce 0 deosn't have any effect either as far as I can tell, as I still can't install Joomla. Anyone successfully installed Joomla 3 on Fedora 19 please can tell how I should proceed?

I used Drupal for years for building sites and testing before moving to Rails, and to a tee, all the problems on localhost are permissions and ownership based. SEL will complain and give you the correction it requires to fix the SEL problem.

It may be that /var/www/html has root ownership and closed permissions.
On my local machine I have to chmod 776 the /var/www/html folder then check the permissions so that chown is, for instance, apache:my_user in /html folder, for ubuntu it's /var/www/www-data that needs the permissions and ownership changed.
do the install then check.

I have not found Joomla suitable, It's easy to use but very limited, my 0.2c worth.
