So I am racking my head over this one..had it working at one time.

Running CentOS 6.5

httpd.conf:

<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
..
...
<Directory "/var/www/html">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Alow from all
</Directory>
..
...
<Directory "/var/www/html/forum">
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

I've created a user: webadmin and assigned it to groups wheel and apache

[root@server1 forum]# ls -la
total 304

I can run info.php from /var/www/html/forum/info.php, but I can not get NNF to run.

Any assistance is appreciated. Thank you.

The user that PHP runs under needs to have write access to the folder you put the forum in, in your case /var/www/html/forum/. That’s where it creates the per-topic `.xml` files.

That’s really the only CHMOD setting there is. On most servers I have worked with, this was already the case.

Replacing index.php with a simple new index.php that displays phpinfo() works. So this dosn't seem to be a permissions issue. AllowOverride All is in httpd.conf

/forum/ is owned by wwwrun and has write permissions. /forum/users/ also has write permissions and is owned by wwwrun.

I'm spending too much time on this (2 days into this) now. I'm getting ready to find some other option.

So do you get any actual errors from NNF’s index.php that you could share?

Note that phpinfo() doesn’t need write access to the folder to run, so if your problem is CHMOD related (which I thought it was due to your topic title) that test doesn’t tell you anything.

Martijn: thank you, it was your question that got me thinking along the right lines.

The problem was that php-mbstring was missing from my CentOS installation.

For other CentOS users:

yum install php php-mbstring

It's working..cheers!

Glad I was able to help in some way. I have opened a ticket on the code repository asking for NNF to specifically check for multibyte string functions in the future and displaying a clear error when they are missing: https://github.com/Kroc/NoNonsenseForum/issues/192
