Hey guys, I’m having trouble with my Yii2 project on CentOS 7. The frontend/web/assets directory is giving me a headache. It keeps saying it’s not writable by the web process. I’ve tried a bunch of stuff I found online, but nothing’s working.
I even tried this:
sudo chown -R apache:apache /path/to/frontend/web/assets
sudo chmod -R 755 /path/to/frontend/web/assets
But nope, still no luck. The error just won’t go away. Any ideas what I might be missing? I’m pretty stuck here and could really use some help. Has anyone run into this before on CentOS 7? What fixed it for you?
Thanks in advance for any tips!
I encountered a similar issue with Yii2 on CentOS 7. The problem often lies in the Apache configuration. Ensure that your virtual host configuration allows overrides and has the correct DocumentRoot. Check your httpd.conf or the relevant .conf file in /etc/httpd/conf.d/. You might need to add:
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
within the section for your project. After making changes, don’t forget to restart Apache with ‘sudo systemctl restart httpd’. Also, verify that the Apache user (usually ‘apache’) has the necessary permissions to access your project directory structure.
hey maya, have u tried checkin the apache user’s group? sometimes it’s not in the right group to access those files. try runnin ‘groups apache’ and see if it’s in the right group. if not, maybe add it with ‘usermod -aG apache’. just a thought! what other things have u tried so far?
yo maya, had similar issues. try checkin SELinux settings. sometimes it blocks write access even with correct permissions. run ‘sestatus’ to see if it’s enabled. if it is, try ‘sudo setenforce 0’ temporarily to see if that fixes it. just remember to turn it back on after!
