[SOLVED] Installation - unable to create preon.conf.php

[Earny]

As part of the installation - page 9 - the creation of the file oreon.conf.php fails.

It states that the writeable Oreon Configuration File (oreon.conf.php) is OK

But on the next line :

Generate configuration file : Critical: Can't create file
/usr/local/oreon/www/oreon.conf.php failed to open stream : Permission denied

Permissions on this directory are apache:apache 775.

Have tried to changing to 777 and creating the file manually but without success.

I have seen another post with the same problem but unfortunately no answer to the problem.

Any ideas would be grateful.

Thanks

even if you delete the file ?

The file was not created by the installation at all.

If I delete the file that I created I get the same error.

Are you sure that apache is the user where apache run under ?

On my server :

ls -ail /usr/local/oreon/www/
3243292 drwxrwxr-x 11 apache apache 4096 jun 14 18:31 www

ps aux | grep http
root 1743 0.0 0.4 24672 9768 ? Ss Jun20 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd
apache 1778 0.0 0.6 29780 13372 ? S Jun20 0:03 /usr/sbin/httpd
apache 1780 0.0 0.5 28916 12232 ? S Jun20 0:02 /usr/sbin/httpd
apache 1781 0.0 0.5 29028 11636 ? S Jun20 0:02 /usr/sbin/httpd

I think tehere is nothing else to verify !

What do you read in your apache error.log when the error appear ?

/var/log/httpd/error_log on my server

Thanks for the reply.

Apache is running with the user apache.

I get exactly the same details as you when running the command ps aux | grep http.

The message in the error log is as follows :

[Thu Jun 22 18:20:18 2006] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] PHP Warning: fopen(/usr/local/oreon/www/oreon.conf.php) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /usr/local/oreon/www/install/steps/step9.php on line 90, referer: http://127.0.0.1/oreon/install/setup.php

thanks
