Hi,
While installing SuiteCRM 7.10.9 in CentOS Server continuously getting permission issue:
Here is server details
CentOS 7.5.1
PHP 7.2.10
MySQL 5.5.60
Apache 2.4.6
All folders having given correct permission (775) and owner (apache:apache) . CACHE+UPLOAD folder given 777
But still getting
The Custom Directory exists but is not writeable.
for custom+cache+upload directories.
Can not figure out what is missing?
Please anyone have any suggestion/feedback.
thanks
Permissions depend on
Start by making sure of number 3. If youāre running Apache this will tell you the user name:
ps -ef | egrep '(httpd|apache2|apache)' | grep -v `whoami` | grep -v root | head -n1 | awk '{print $1}'
Use that for the chown command as given in the Docs instructions:
docs.suitecrm.com/admin/installation-gui...loading--installing/
And donāt use 777, thatās really not necessary if you set things right.
yes apache is the user. thats what your command has responded.
But no luck:
Here is the message:
Writeable Custom Directory
The Custom Directory exists but is not writeable. You may have to change permissions on it (chmod 766) or right click on it and uncheck the read only option, depending on your Operating System. Please take the needed steps to make the file writeable.
Writable Cache Sub-Directories
The files or directories listed below are not writeable or are missing and cannot be created. Depending on your Operating System, correcting this may require you to change permissions on the files or parent directory (chmod 755), or to right click on the parent directory and uncheck the āread onlyā option and apply it to all subfolders.
Please fix the following files or directories before proceeding:
/var/www/html/SuiteCRM-7.10.9/cache/
/var/www/html/SuiteCRM-7.10.9/cache/images
/var/www/html/SuiteCRM-7.10.9/cache/layout
/var/www/html/SuiteCRM-7.10.9/cache/pdf
/var/www/html/SuiteCRM-7.10.9/cache/xml
/var/www/html/SuiteCRM-7.10.9/cache/include/javascript
Writable Modules Sub-Directories and Files
Warning: Not Writable
Please fix the following module directories and the files under them before proceeding:
/modules
Writable Upload Directory
Warning: Not Writable
Ok, so do this from your SuiteCRM root directory:
sudo chown -R apache:apache .
sudo chmod -R 755 .
sudo chmod -R 775 cache custom modules themes data upload
sudo chmod 775 config_override.php 2>/dev/null
Do you have any Scheduler Jobs set up in cron? Sometimes this can interfere with permissions.
Hi pgr,
Yes I did the same. But still no luck. There is no cron running on the system. I follow the steps which mentioned in the installation guide.
What do you have in the default_permissions array in config.php?
Could you be getting access problems from any .htaccess file you added?
Im trying to install brand new suitecrm instance in the server. I think config.php will create after completing the installation. No .htaccess file in root.
Can you give me the results of these two commands please? Type them from the SuiteCRM root folder:
ls -al ls -al cachels -al

Hhmm everything looks correctā¦
You need to check your web server log, there must be a clue there.
You can enable it in your php.ini.
Itās often called php_errors.log.
Nothing as such in error log thoughā¦still think what is missing
I donāt knowā¦
Thereās another person on the Forums with the same issue, and heās also on CentOSā¦ :huh:
Do you want to try this on Ubuntu? Normally itās very easy to install.
Did you adjust your SELinux permissions?
Adjust SELinux permissions using the following commands.
chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_rw_t /var/www/html setsebool httpd_can_network_connect_db=on setsebool httpd_can_network_connect=on setsebool httpd_can_sendmail=on setsebool httpd_unified=on

Mee to facing the issue in centos
Hey man,
Awesome, Iāve spent a lot of hours trying to guess why.
Thanks!
For anyone who experiences strange permission issues on CentOS, please check the /var/log/audit/audit.log.* for any āavc: deniedā.
Probably would see some denials by SELinux and you need to adjust SELinux to permit httpd and SuiteCRM files/functions as shared above. Exact commands like this:
Actually they are permitting httpd access files in directory and lets to do some function
a. Run following commands to let httpd to perform functions, just after initial installation of httpd and before starting httpd service
setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect 1
setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect_db 1
setsebool -P httpd_can_sendmail 1
setsebool -P httpd_unified 1
b. This is for labeling files in /var/www/html ( possibly your suitecrm dir and files) recursively. These commands will take some while, run them before launching install.php of SuiteCRM on your browser
cd /var/www/html
chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_rw_t /var/www/html
restorecon .
c. Restart your httpd
