Problems with Unix Permissions???

[olagon]

Aloha, am trying to get 2.0 running and having problems with permissions. Here is the error on the install page:

# Session Save Path writable?
Failed Fatal: /home/httpd/vhosts/sessions/ not existing or not writable

But then i have tried everything to make that folder writable. Here is the latest:

drwxrwxrwx 2 apache root 12288 Jun 27 15:23 sessions

I also tried as root owner. Still it doesn't work. Any ideas??? This is a show stopper for me! Can't get this up.

Best, Olin

chmod 777

Rings any bell?

check the owner of the directory as well, should match up to your webserver 'user', usually "nobody" on a *nix box

Yes set permissions using chmod 777. Also checked owner and it was apache. I also set owner to both apache and root. Both don't work. Any other ideas? Thanks! Olin

All I can suggest is to verify the owner/group/perms with your isp / sys admin, also make sure you're using an absolute path statement

good luck

Thanks. Ended up just using the mySQL sessions and that works. Aloha, Olin
