Hi all,
I am a very occasional long time user of phpsurvey and have happily updated my production version incrementally to 1.92+ so I am ever grateful for everyone's contribution to this project. I noticed that the front page of my production version was encouraging me to update to V2 but I have to say I am struggling to getting Build 121208 running on apache installed at var/www/limesurvey on a ubuntu 12.04 instance. Apache is running OK and I can get a sensible response when I browse to http://localhost/limesurvey/phpinfo.php but when I browse to
http://localhost/limesurvey/
Internal Server Error
Application runtime path "/var/www/limesurvey/tmp/runtime" is not valid. Please make sure it is a directory writable by the Web server process.
http://localhost/limesurvey/admin
Browsing to http://localhost/limesurvey/admin
redirects to:
http://localhost/limesurvey/index.php/admin and results in the same error page as above
I have changed permissions to 777 for /tmp / uploads and /application/config - no change
I then created a folder called runtime in /tmp & chmod 755 - no change
It was only when I changed the permissions of /runtime to be 777 did the first page of the installer screen render.
Page 2 of the installer states under Minimum Requirements that :
/upload and /tmp are "Found and Unwritable"
It is of note that /application/config on the otherhand was "Found and Writable"
Here are the permissions of folders in limesurvey folder:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 61 Dec 7 20:05 README
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 7 20:05 admin

drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 4096 Dec 7 20:06 templates
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Dec 7 20:06 third_party
drwxrwxrwx 4 root root 4096 Dec 7 20:06 tmp
drwxrwxrwx 6 root root 4096 Dec 7 20:06 upload
Can anyone see a problem or explain why the server thinks it cannot write to /tmp ?
Kind regards,
James
