Hello everyone! I just get this video CMS for customer and setup CentOS 7 64bit with Apache, MySQL, PHP, FFmpeg and everything.

I run the installation and did everything like its described in official documentation and once it comes to Folder Permissions, It pissed me off!  :mad: :mad: I gave permission to 777 and it still says its not writeable. Then I set 777 to every file and folder in html folder (root web dir) and still same thing!! I've also tried to set 0777 and again same problem! That really pissed me off and waste a lot of time, then i decided to change if conditions in /setup/index.php and I bypassed it. After that I got error it's unable to remove /html/hold
So I removed it manually and installation finished, but once I wanted to access login it days not found.

I'm not beginner and you don't need to tell me how to set CHMOD. Let's start from cause of the problem. Folder permissions.
Someone from development team answering on this forums?

Thanks!!

UPDATE: The only folder that works good in permissions is /uploads folder.

As developers you probably know how mad clients can get, now you know how mad my client will get!

first are you on shared hosting or dedicated server ?

I have VPS with root permission, but I've installed Debian on it and working perfect! CentOS 7 is not working good with PHPVibe.

Hi! We use CentOS6 and 7 with no issue. I don't think it's an os issue, mostly file ownership permission setup on server (not chmod).

The cms just uses is_writeable() from php http://php.net/manual/en/function.is-writable.php
That's all.
How that fails, I'm not sure. But you should ask for a server expert help.
Or, as I have replied in similar folders, skip the check (you said you are not a noob, cool, just remove the checks from php, but if the folders are indeed not writeable...disaster will strike).

Cheers!
