Recursive Write Permissions

[gurt]

I am trying to install PrestaShop on a CentOS server, but can't get past the permissions check.

I keep getting these errors. 

 

 

• Recursive write permissions for Apache user on ~/config/
• Recursive write permissions for Apache user on ~/cache/
• Recursive write permissions for Apache user on ~/log/
• Recursive write permissions for Apache user on ~/img/
• Recursive write permissions for Apache user on ~/mails/
• Recursive write permissions for Apache user on ~/modules/
• Recursive write permissions for Apache user on ~/themes/default-bootstrap/lang/
• Recursive write permissions for Apache user on ~/themes/default-bootstrap/pdf/lang/
• Recursive write permissions for Apache user on ~/themes/default-bootstrap/cache/
• Recursive write permissions for Apache user on ~/translations/
• Recursive write permissions for Apache user on ~/upload/
• Recursive write permissions for Apache user on ~/download/

 

I have used chown to recursively set ownership to apache. ls -l yields the following...

 

drwxr-xr-x. 26 apache apache     4096 Feb 19 22:02 public_html

 

I've gone as far as temporarily setting permissions recursively to 777 for the entire directory, but same problem.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Found the problem. It was due to the extra security in SE Linux (CentOS).

 

I used this info to fix the problem...
