hello


i have recognized issues on my server - maintained by a friend of mine


the installer-script shows complains about the session-path -(that it is not writeable)

some findings:

whereas i have the user user 2000 as owner of all the files on the limesurvey-script the files

here
sites/www/my_domain.de/umfrage/tmp/runtime/cache/
has the owner 30



again - all the rest is owned by user 2000

also - the files in the
tmp/
assets
owner 30


question : could this cause issues - and lead to the signal "temp-path is not writeable for the session"?

look forward to hear from you

hello dear all - this seems to be somewhat annoying



like the user citrussurvey tells us here what issues he had..: - with the session-things..: see

forums.limesurvey.org/forum/installation...e-installation-check

Am running SuseLinux. Have unpacked and run installation script, but find it stalls continuously at the Pre-Installation check. The two warning which are apparently really errors (since installation is not allowed to proceed) are:


Code:
Session Writeable
> session.save_path: /temp

Could find no online docs to provide any insight into further troubleshooting.
Have provided annotated screen shots to confirm directory permissions are set per installation docs.
Any suggestions welcome.



well we here are facing exactly the same things.

any ideas - how to proceed or test !?

Since nobody knows what the settings where changed when Suse was installed, you might run into security tools like AppArmor or SELinux. You need to consult the documentation of your Suse Linux version to see what is enabled by default and how you can change these setttings.

Hello dear Denis Chenu

OpenSuse Linux to be precise

Well we struggle with the issues here - my serveradmin says that the temp-folder is writeable.


are there any further tests that we can apply - to go further. ...


btw. my serveradmin told me that he guesses - that the installer-test is wrong - that the installer-script is broken.. in some way.


we need to go ahead with the installation - but at the moment it is not possible!?


we look forward to hear from you

regards

We save a session variable : github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/14...rController.php#L169
We read a session variable : github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/14...rController.php#L206

If it's not set : it's not writable …
