Insufficient permissions to create configuration.php

Post by Alturiak » Sat Nov 13, 2021 7:08 pm

Hi, I'm trying to install Joomla 4 on my VPS, but even though I have put the entire Joomla folder as owned by "apache" and given permission for the "configuration.php" file to be created at root folder, but I can not install it.
For some reason I don't know, I don't go beyond this screen:

The curious thing is that on my local server it was successfully installed.

Can anyone tell me what it could be?

Thank you for attention!

Please use the FPA. See red frame above.

What Web Server to PHP interface are you using?

For fpm-cgi, the user to use is configured in fpm-cgi.conf file

web server : nginx
php : 7.04
OS : Rocky 8

Was problem of SELINUX

Solution :
mkdir <Path to installation>
cd <Path to installation>
semanage fcontext -m -t httpd_sys_content_t <Path to installation>
tar -xvf <Download path>/Joomla_4.0.5-Stable-Full_Package.tar.gz
chown -R nginx:nginx /data/www/joomla/html
chmod -R 755 /data/www/joomla/html

check SELINUX contex
ls -Z
unconfined_u:object_r:httpd_sys_rw_content_t:s0 administrator

start installation
