I’m having trouble with my Yii2 project on CentOS 7. The frontend/web/assets directory isn’t writable by the web process. I’ve tried changing the group to apache and setting group write permissions, but it’s still not working. Here’s what I tried:
But I’m still getting the same error. I’ve looked online for solutions, but nothing seems to fix it. Has anyone run into this before? What else can I try to resolve this permission issue? I’m pretty new to server management, so any help would be appreciated!
I encountered a similar issue with Yii2 on CentOS. One often overlooked solution is to check the ownership of the parent directories. Ensure that the entire path leading to the assets folder has the correct permissions. Try running:
This sets the ownership recursively and provides necessary permissions. Additionally, verify that the Apache user is correctly configured in your Yii2 application. Check your web server configuration to confirm it’s using the ‘apache’ user. If issues persist, examining Apache error logs might provide more specific information about the permission denial.
Hey there! Have u tried checkin the SELinux settings? sometimes it can interfere with file permissions. you could try temporarily disablin it with ‘sudo setenforce 0’ to see if that helps. Also, whats the output when you run ‘ls -l’ on the assets directory? Might give us more clues!
