[SOLVED] map config directory is not writable by web server

[at9483mph]

Hi, I had just re-installed the new cacti with weathermap plugins and having some problems on the permissions for the editor+configs folder even I changed to 777 for the configs folder.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FILE PERMISSIONS :

drwxrwxrwx 2 apache apache 4096 2007-12-06 15:17 configs
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
editor-config.php :

$cacti_base = "/usr/share/cacti";
$cacti_url = "./../../";
$mapdir= $cacti_base."/plugins/weathermap/configs";
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please advise as I keep getting this error message "The map config directory is not writable by the web server user. You will not be able to edit any files until this is corrected. [WMEDIT01]" even tried on the nobody:nobody and 777 permissions.

Are you using SELinux? Make sure the correct context is being used? (ls -Z)

Thank you very much!! llow, it solved after I disabled the SELinux. Btw, what cause the weathermap unable to function when running SELinux ?

drwxrwxrwx apache apache system_u:object_r:usr_t:s0 configs

The files need to have a context that the web server is able to read/write. Most likely running a restorecon on the files will fix it for you. If not you can manualy change the context with chcon to something the web server can write to.
