PhP error during installation

[Niols]

Following the installations steps, I cloned the repo and created the submodule. After that I tried to install Freeder. I entered my username, my password, my password (again), clicked on « Install ! »… and nothing happened. I tried several times.

In my apache logs, i found the following line :

[Fri Oct 03 09:08:54 2014] [error] [client 129.199.100.124] PHP Warning: file_get_contents(/var/www/niols/rss/.htaccess): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/niols/rss/inc/rewriting.class.php on line 122

I'll stay available for questions.

I tried to reproduce the exact steps you've tell me on Debian Wheezy too and have no problem…

I just re-did it :

www-data@s2:~/niols$ mkdir rss
www-data@s2:~/niols$ cd rss/
www-data@s2:~/niols/rss$ ls
www-data@s2:~/niols/rss$ git clone https://github.com/FreederTeam/Freeder .

with the same error message:

That's curious since there actually is a test to check whether it is possible to write .htaccess. I will investigate.

[Phyks]

Perms problem ?

[Niols]

Tried it again, with the same problem, but no apache error message.

The .htaccess file seems to be correctly created btw:

www-data@s2:~/niols/rss$ ls -lah
total 216K
drwxr-xr-x 10 www-data www-data 4,0K oct.   3 10:02 .

Ok so the problem was actually not related to .htacess (this was just a warning actually). Could you provide a copy of the resulting sqlite DB? And a list of files located in tmp/?

[Niols]

The data/ directory is empty, there's no sqlite db.
And still nothing in apache error logs (even with debug log level).

[Phyks]

@u4xmp : mkdir tmp data chown www-data:www-data tmp data

Working ? If yes, it's a perm problem we did not handle.

[Niols]

www-data created everything, so all directories are belonging to this user, even data and tmp

[eliemichel]

Ok, it seems that error messages have been disabled when adding modal boxes…

[Niols]

All js fils seems to be disabled, and lead to the same install page.

[eliemichel]

Ok, I though this problem was solved…
