Unable to write to configuration.php Topic is solved

[QoQoo]

Hello.

I have joomla installed on VmWare (centsos8 stream).

You cannot install correctly because you cannot allow writing to configuration.
php in step 4 of the installation wizard.

Current permission and owner information
var 755 root root
var/www 755 root root
var/www/joomla 755 apache apache

If you install in this state, you can install it,
but an error will occur in the global settings of the management screen.

--Error--
[global configuration save An error has occurred.]


The procedure is as per this site
https://www.tecmint.com/install-lamp-on-centos-8/
https://www.tecmint.com/install-joomla-on-centos-8/


I've tried it over and over again since installing the OS and the situation is the same.
Please help me.

1) Create a Linux User that the site can run under
2) var/www/joomla 755 apache apache (user must be the user created at step 1, not apache)
3) Set php-fpm to run as user created in step 1, configured in php-fpm.ini.

Repeat this procedure for each site installed. That will isolate the sites from each other, preventing cross contamination if one site get hacked.

Is this localhost or remote server?

Is this localhost or remote server?

This is localhost.
Is there a difference in settings between localhost and remote server?

Thank you for answering.

1) Create a Linux User that the site can run under

Is it not possible for the root user?

3) Set php-fpm to run as user created in step 1, configured in php-fpm.ini.

php.ini exists but php-fpm.ini doesn't seem to exist
Do I need to create a new one?

[Per Yngve Berg]

The file is php-fpm.conf

There should be one global file and one for only that Virtual host.

If SELinux is enabled, it doesn't seem to install properly.
I was able to get it to work properly by disabling SELinux.
Thank you for the advice.
