TYPO3 Mailingliste: nicht fragen - lesen!

Hi;

I want to learn Typo3 before I know enough to convert my existing site.

i tried to install a 'testsite' on a subdomain and it appears that
without some help it will not work.

It tells me that directories typo3temp, typo3conf, fileadmin and uploads
are not writable when in fact they are all '777'.

'Safe_mode' is OFF but my 'open_base directory' is set.

Server is Apache/2.0.52 (Red Hat)

Php 4.3.9

MySQL 4.1.20

Image Magic 6.3.5, GD 2 with Freetype 2 enabled

Additional Php info can be found here:
sultan.torontogsdrescue.org/phpinfo.php

The archives of the support lists are disabled so I'm not able to look
for answers there.

I would greatly appreciate help to understand why Typo3 views those
directories as 'unwritable' and how to fix the problems

Hi Anna,

I see two possible reasons:
- You only made the directories writable but not their contents (chmod -R)
- You fixed the wrong directories - maybe there is another instance?

Yes, we couldn't fix them yet after the listserver upgrade last week.
You can search using Google instead:

Search for: <search terms> site:lists.netfielders.de

(notice the "site" attribute)

Good luck!

Thank you Michael so very much;

If those are only two possible reasons

I see two possible reasons:
- You only made the directories writable but not their contents
(chmod -R)
- You fixed the wrong directories - maybe there is another instance?

I obviously did not made the content writable, however I have no idea
how to do it. I use Plesk desktop on the server and I don't see where
the 'content' of an empty folder can be made writable. I did create
temp/ folder, made it 'rwxrwxrwx' but that makes no difference, I still
get the same errors.

Would it have anything to do with 'sessions'? This is an error for
typo3temp and all other are the same with the same 'number' at the end
of the path:

*typo3temp/ directory not writable* /Full path:
/var/www/vhosts/torontogsdrescue.org/subdomains/sultan/httpdocs/typo3temp/7356fb702c59fa6f3fbb082502771ef5/
The folder is used by both the frontend (FE) and backend interface (TBE)
for image manipulated files.

Tried to write this file (with touch()) but didn't succeed.
The directory typo3temp/ must be writable!

Sincerely Yours

So how do the contents look like? Notice the "-R" in my last mail, which
means that chown/chmod should recurse into all subdirectories.

Do you have any shell access at all? In any case, you will just have to make
sure that permissions are not only changed for the topmost directory.

Hi all,



I see a third reason also most hosters don't use it: selinux. With shell
access you could check the security context with ls -Z and change it with
chcon.

Please remember that when you send one email to the lists, you send
THOUSANDS of emails. Retaining the ENTIRE THREAD within each message is very
wasteful in terms of bandwidth. Please remove any unnecessary cruft from
your replies before sending them.

Tell your host this:

"The php process must be able to write recursively to the following
directories: fileadmin, uploads, typo3conf, and typo3temp"

If they can't help you with that, then you have no real alternative but to
move to a competent hosting company--because if your host can't achieve that
modest goal, then not only will you not be able to make TYPO3 work, you'll
be able to use few if any PHP-based CMS tools.

Usually it's a simple matter of changing the group of the relevant
directories to the group that the webserver runs as and ensuring that the
webserver has write-access to them.

Thank you Michael and Janno so very much for the suggestions. I
contacted my webhost with it and finally got the reply back that they do
not have SElinux installed on the server.

Unfortunately the only access to the shell I have is through Plesk
interface as I'm on a shared server.

I have exactly the same problem with Quickstart, Testsite, Dummie Site.
I also got a brand new domain on the same server so I don't have to
deal with a subdomain and there is no difference

My webhost is usually very cooperative and most of the time will adjust
the settings on the server if explained properly what is required. At
this point I have no idea what to request next.

The setup is at www.justicefordogs.info/phpinfo.php

The following are some of the errors from the error log:

searched through the archives and through the various forums on the
Internet and any other suggestion would be greatly appreciated
