Hi,

I’m working to install xibo 1.7.5 on centos 7.
all requirements are perfect excepted the file system permissions seem my issue.

I have already permit the permission on the install.php as following command
chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/xibo-cms-1.7.5

[root@mgpteemip01 html]# cd xibo-cms-1.7.5/
[root@mgpteemip01 xibo-cms-1.7.5]# ls -ll
total 100

on my understanding my configuration seems good but my xibo CMS installation could not start cause by this File System Permissions!!!

can you propose me some ideas to troubleshoot this issue.

thks

Permission to create a file depends on the parent directory permissions. You don’t show them in your screenshot, but likely the CMS doesn’t have permission to write to /var/www/html/xibo-cms-1.7.5 directory itself.

Making everything executable as you’ve done is really not a good idea. You should fix those permissions so that normal files aren’t executable.
