Problem with folder permissions while installing on sourceforge

[bancika]

I get the following error when installing CMS on my sourceforge project page. Error is:

/home/groups/d/di/diylc/htdocs/tmp/templates_c is not writable! Check your installation, exiting

I'm pretty sure I set the permissions right, actually I set 777 perm to almost all files in the project (except for plugins maybe).
Any ideas?
Thanks

Little more info - I'm using winscp with sygwin (shell) to upload and configure the project...

You may have to change it to 775 or 755 some times, you need to only change permissions on the folders/files as it says in install instructions...

thanks. Also, I couldn't download tar.gz file directly to server because of this error:

Code: Select all

-bash-3.00$ wget http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/frs/download.php/2533/cmsmadesimple-1.4.1-base.tar.gz
--11:45:48--  http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/frs/download.php/2533/cmsmadesimple-1.4.1-base.tar.gz
           => `cmsmadesimple-1.4.1-base.tar.gz'
Resolving dev.cmsmadesimple.org... 207.192.69.147
Connecting to dev.cmsmadesimple.org|207.192.69.147|:80... failed: Connection refused.

so I had to extract it locally and then upload to server. Does it change anything?
Thanks

update - I tried deleting everything, uploading tar and unpacking on server and still nothing, get the same error

[Dr.CSS]

Have you tried unpacking locally and FTP to site?...

[bancika]

source forge doesn't support FTP as far as I can see, but I've tried unpacking with shell...both locally and remotely

[Dr.CSS]

How did you set permissions?...

[bancika]

exactly like in the shell guide

same problem here w/correct permissions

[Pierre M.]

So if I understand correctly : you can reliably transfer the files and the issue occurs when lanching the 1.4.1 install wizard because of a permission issue ?
May be sourceforge has some strict CMSms uncompatible hosting policy : mod_security, safe mode, virtualization module or so... You should ask them. Does another sourceforge project use CMSms ?

Have you guy figured this out?  I'm have the same issue installing 1.4.1 on a plesk linux sever... it's my dedicated sever... the only way I was able to get passed that was to set permissions to 777 ... is there something wrong with the install?  Thanks

I've seen these problems on plesk panel installs, seems they need the 777 permissions and have a tendency to run with safe mode on...

[JeremyBASS]

truns out for at least me settup... I needed to have apache as the group in plesk... then I had to give a 2755 for the permissions... this alowed me to have the safer permissions and still edit... hope that helps someone... have a great day...
