Unable to write permissions

[ghost]

I am trying to set up Podcast Generator with the following:

• CentOS Linux release 7.1.1503 (Core)
• PHP Version 5.4.16
• NGINX 1.8.0

I tried to copy an existing version over from Ubuntu/Apache but get just a blank page when visiting the URL

I downloaded a fresh copy and followed the installation instructions as supplied on your website. I receive the following on setup

This is the directory of the transferred copy (Blank in browser), as you can is 777

[root@server conf.d]# ll /var/www/podcast/

Your user and group assigned to the directories images and media is nginx, but PG works as a web service and maybe the group assigned to the web services (e.g. "apache") cannot write into those directories (even though it's odd, since 777 should allow writing privileges to everyone in the system). Have you looked into that?

I've tried changing to Apache and Root but nothing worked - Has it been tested with NGINX?

[albertobeta]

Personally, I tested PG just using Apache. Your problem is that you have a directory permission issue when writing directories or changing their permissions from a PHP script (maybe some security rule implementedd). You should look into that.

It was SELinux - I've set it to permissive and it's now working.
