error message > "not writeable"
25 October 2006 15:52
Anonymous Hi there - this is my first post!

I installed 0.2.0 r749 alpha > start installation > welcome to Drake CMS > license agreement > error!

Error message was:
Directories created by the
Drake Installer are NOT WRITABLE.

My solution:
CHMOD 777 on INSTALL dir and content

I know this error from Limbo, which puzzle many people. I checked the Drake Wiki, but I have only seen a straight forward installation progress without any failures > the problem is > if the people searching for a installation manual, they still having problems.

So please - add a proper solution to the error page and to the Wiki.

Thanks!

btw - I miss also an information which folders and/or files should have what for CHMOD.

(I hope my english is not too terrible)

Anonymous You should not have to chmod any directories for installation. Are you trying to install it in a nix environment? Also please try the latest release which has several bug fixes and changes to the core and Gladius data base. I have run several test installs and can not duplicate that error. Any additional information you can provide is appreciated as well.

P.S. Your english is excellent! smile

Anonymous Hi - I tried the latest version, but with the same results.

#1 I must change the permission of the INSTALL folder to 777

#2 I also had to modify the folders "private", "modules",... but this will be shown in stage 3 or 4 (I guess), so I know what is to do.

#3 The next problem was the GladiusDB > stage 5

I received a lot of errors. So made a CHMOD 777 on all files under /www.dmx22.de/admin/classes/

I really don't know if this has fixed the problem, after restart of stage 5 (before I renamed the INSTALL folder back to "install") I had no errors, everthing was sucessful.

Now the website is running and I will figure out the features. smile

Anonymous Do not worry about the messages from Gladius, they are notifications not errors. Error reporting is cranked up for testing.

Can you tell me more about your server please? Is it a local server, hosted, educational institution or other?
Thank you

Anonymous The wiki should be edited to include error-handling cases; but we are still at the alpha stage!

About your error: I will add a more talkative message when the error happens; are you sure that install and classes directories need write access? This is VERY strange...I would not bet on it.

Anonymous The server being used is running PHP in safe mode. I was able to install Drake with PHP in safe mode when being run on Apache as a module. Not sure if there are other server configuration issues here that I have not been able to identify yet but still looking! wink

I dont think that the CLASSES directory needs write access - as I understand the Gladius errors happens only the first time (creation of DB? )

Its a good question what the INSTALL directory need - but I know, if I change it to 777, the installation will continue.

Can you please check with the latest version? there should no more be any kind of error (neither for the DB or the install folder).
