Hi.
I tried to install 2.5.2 and got the error message

-------------------
Warning: mkdir(/home/username/FUDforum/): Permission denied in /home/visafory/public_html/forum/install.php on line 354
Warning: mkdir(/home/username): File exists in /home/visafory/public_html/forum/install.php on line 354
---------------------

plus

------------------------
Install script failed to create "/home/username/FUDforum/". Create it manually and chmod it 777 or make it's user/group same as the web-server (nobody/nobody).
---------------------------

I went to check permissions and everything looked OK.

------------------
drwxrwxrwx 2 username username 4096 Sep 28 13:54 forum
drwxrwxrwx 2 username username 4096 Sep 28 13:51 FUDforum
------------------

Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you.

Are you using safe_mode or open_basedir?

I am not sure, I am using provider services.

Should I ask them and if yes, what should I ask them?

Thank you!

safe_mode : Off
open_basedir : no value

Should I ask them to change something?

Thank you.

Those are the ideal settings.

Hmmm try running the following script:


<?php
var_dump(is_dir("/home/username/FUDforum"));
var_dump(is_dir("/home/username/FUDforum/"));
?>

The result was:

bool(false) bool(false)

I am not sure if it matters, but the operation system is Lynix.
And User/Group settings is nobody(99)/99

As you can see the problem has nothing to do with the forum.

Even though the directories exist, PHP claims they do not, hence the installer failure.

But would you know how fix it?

Thank you.

It's a very strange problem, I have not seen similar problems reported on php bug list. What is the permission of the /home/username directory?

Like I mentioned before the operation system is Lynix.

Here is a listing :

drwxrwx---   6 username mail         4096 Aug 31 09:24 mail
drwxr-x---   3 username username     4096 Mar 13  2003 public_ftp
drwxr-x---  14 username 99           4096 Sep 29 16:53 public_html
drwx------   9 username username     4096 Mar 15  2003 tmp
drwxr-x---  14 username 99           4096 Sep 29 16:53 www

Where 99 is nobody

I guess my public_html(where I put my HTML) is my /home/username directory...

Thank you for your time!

I think I see the problem...

Chmod the public_html directory 751 it should allow PHP to read the directories when running as the webserver.

Just FYI.
Maybe it is going to help somebody.

I believe my problem was in user/group ownership. IMHO.

When I create folders /username/public_html/forum/ and /username/public_html/forum_data/ , the user/group ownership is username/username, but on the server of my provider by default ownership are nobody/nobody. Remember

Quote:

Install script failed to create "/home/username/FUDforum/". Create it manually and chmod it 777 or make it's user/group same as the web-server (nobody/nobody).

?
So, the installation process grab this default ownership from the server and try to put in the folder /forum_data , but this /forum_data has different ownership (username/username) and the installation process can not be continued...

Now I am trying to resolve this issue with my provider. Confused
