Rocketlauncher.zip uploaded, unzipped but site not works
Posted 14 years 1 week ago
Hi,
I uploaded a Rocketlauncher.zip file of the omnicron template to my webserver (via WinSCP) and then unzipped the file in the directory. (/srv/www/vhosts/mysite.com/httpdocs) That all worked fine.
But I cannot open the installer after this and I guess this must have to do with the permissions of files and folders.
All folders and files have root as "owner"!
folders and files are not set to writable after unzipping.
Is this a general problem which I can simply solve by change owner or some other console commands?
Can anybody help?

I solved the problem.
I needed a bit more knowledge about using shell commands in SSH so I studied a bit and finally could solve it. But the main reason why it did not start was, that after creating the domain with Plesk there were some default files like index.html which I deleted. And after clear the browser cache and pointing to my domain again, it was OK.
But then another problem appeared!
After the installer started, I got an error at step 2 of the installation procedure. It was telling me that the session.save_path has a problem.
[cookies do not appear to be enabled on your browser client. you will not be able to install the application with this feature disabled. alternatively, there could also be a problem with the server's session.save_path. if this is the case, please consult your hosting provider if you don't know how to check or fix this yourself.]
I checked the error log of this domain (in Plesk) and found that the problem was in the directory /var/lib/php5.
I changed the permissions of this folder to 777 and after that everything was running as expected.
