The main thing that needs to be changed during a Joomla install is the directory permissions. Here is a shot of the install application before fixing the permissions:
| administrator/backups | Unwriteable |
| administrator/components | Unwriteable |
| administrator/modules | Unwriteable |
| administrator/templates | Unwriteable |
| cache | Unwriteable |
| components | Unwriteable |
| images | Unwriteable |
| images/banners | Unwriteable |
| images/stories | Unwriteable |
| language | Unwriteable |
| mambots | Unwriteable |
| mambots/content | Unwriteable |
| mambots/editors | Unwriteable |
| mambots/editors-xtd | Unwriteable |
| mambots/search | Unwriteable |
| mambots/system | Unwriteable |
| media | Unwriteable |
| modules | Unwriteable |
| templates | Unwriteable |
Here is the sequence of commands to set the permissions for the web server account (apache):
chgrp apache administrator/backups
chgrp apache administrator/components
chgrp apache administrator/modules
chgrp apache administrator/templates
chgrp apache cache
chgrp apache components
chgrp apache images
chgrp apache images/banners
chgrp apache images/stories
chgrp apache language
chgrp apache mambots
chgrp apache mambots/content
chgrp apache mambots/editors
chgrp apache mambots/editors-xtd
chgrp apache mambots/search
chgrp apache mambots/system
chgrp apache media
chgrp apache modules
chgrp apache templates
chmod g+w administrator/backups
chmod g+w administrator/components
chmod g+w administrator/modules
chmod g+w administrator/templates
chmod g+w cache
chmod g+w components
chmod g+w images
chmod g+w images/banners
chmod g+w images/stories
chmod g+w language
chmod g+w mambots
chmod g+w mambots/content
chmod g+w mambots/editors
chmod g+w mambots/editors-xtd
chmod g+w mambots/search
chmod g+w mambots/system
chmod g+w media
chmod g+w modules
chmod g+w templates
|
Now the installation check looks like this:
| administrator/backups | Writeable |
| administrator/components | Writeable |
| administrator/modules | Writeable |
| administrator/templates | Writeable |
| cache | Writeable |
| components | Writeable |
| images | Writeable |
| images/banners | Writeable |
| images/stories | Writeable |
| language | Writeable |
| mambots | Writeable |
| mambots/content | Writeable |
| mambots/editors | Writeable |
| mambots/editors-xtd | Writeable |
| mambots/search | Writeable |
| mambots/system | Writeable |
| media | Writeable |
| modules | Writeable |
| templates | Writeable |
