Insufficient directory permissions

Thursday 06 July 2006 10:30:42 am

While intalling i found this problem, how can i solve this issue?

1. Insufficient directory permissions
eZ publish cannot write to some important directories, without this the setup cannot finish and parts of eZ publish will fail.
The affected directories are: settings settings/override var var/log var/storage var/cache var/cache/codepages var/cache/ini settings/siteaccess settings/siteaccess/admin design

Shell commands
These shell commands will give proper permission to the webserver.

cd /home/celticco/public_html/ezpublish
chmod -R ug+rwx settings settings/override var var/log var/storage var/cache var/cache/codepages var/cache/ini settings/siteaccess settings/siteaccess/admin design
chown -R nobody:nobody settings settings/override var var/log var/storage var/cache var/cache/codepages var/cache/ini settings/siteaccess settings/siteaccess/admin designAlternative shell commands
If you don't have permissions to change the ownership you can try these commands.

cd /home/celticco/public_html/ezpublish
chmod -R a+rwx settings settings/override var var/log var/storage var/cache var/cache/codepages var/cache/ini settings/siteaccess settings/siteaccess/admin design

Please help me
thanks

You really need SSH (shell) access to easily install eZpublish.

You may need to ask your host to enable SSH on your account if you're on a shared or resller account and don't have your own server.

I use Putty to SSH into my account
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/

But there are various options available to use.

To explain what the commands are doing:

cd /home/celticco/public_html/ezpublish

gets you to the install directory of your eZpublish installation.

chmod -R a+rwx settings settings/override var var/log var/storage var/cache var/cache/codepages var/cache/ini settings/siteaccess settings/siteaccess/admin design

Basically CHMODs various directories and subdirectories so that they are writeable by eZpublish. You need this so the installation can setup the right settings for your server and save them as well as letting eZpublish write files to cache for example.

To use these commands you need to login to the ssh of your server account with your username and password. You then paste the first command starting cd... and press enter to execute it. Then paste the second command and press enter to execute that.

With regards to your other failed processes of magic quotes and register globals, just add the following to your .htaccess file.

php_value magic_quotes_gpc 0
php_value register_globals 0

I hope that helps,

I'm afraid I haven't come across that error, so am not quite sure what the problem is.

Just to check, you have MySQL, and have created a database and created a MySQL user with a password for that database?

Also, are you trying to install eZpublish with with unicode or not?
Your database has to be unicode too for the installation and eZpublish setup to be unicode too.
