Install issues

[TcktG]

Hi,

I'm trying out Bludit and I like it so far. A few questions:

1. the install manual says it should be installed in the /bludit folder on the server. I don't want my main site running in /bludit though, I just want it to be http://www.blabla.com (without the trailing /bludit). Installation of Bludit in the root doesn't seem to work?

2. During installation, I get an error about permissions of the content folder. Setting it manually to 777 seems to fix the problem. Is this something more people are experiencing (and should it be corrected in the install)?

Thanks.

Installation in the root directory works.

What server environment do you use? Have you tried with 755?

thank you for your reply. I think the default permissions (in install) are 755, but that doesn't work. I'm using Apache 2.4.25 with PHP 5.3.29.
This is the error:

Writing test failure, check directory content permissions. (ERR_205)

Manually changing the permissions of the bl-content folder to 777 and running install again fixes the problem.

I tried installing in the root again and now it does work, so that is fixed.

Is it a shared hosting? Could be that there are some restrictions.

No, it's my own VPS

In this case, I think, it's how your server handles permissions.

Hmm, okay. Anyway, changing line 251 in install.php to

@mkdir(PATH_CONTENT, 0777, true);

fixes it and installs Bludit (for me).
