After installing newscoop: ERROR! Unable to delete the file '/var/www/newscoop/themes/unassigned/set - Newscoop Support Discussions on Sourcefabric Forum

Ilja

I've followed the installation procedure and at the last step I get this error:

ERROR!
Unable to delete the file '/var/www/newscoop/themes/unassigned/set_the_new_custodian/404.tpl'.

This is on my local environment (since I got problems with installing ns on my shared hosting)

Ubuntu 12.04
PHP 5.3.6-13ubuntu3.6 with Suhosin-Patch (cli) (built: Feb 11 2012 02:17:16)
Mysql: Server version: 5.1.61-0ubuntu0.11.10.1

Probably there's something wrong with permissions I guess? The Newscoop folder is recursively chowned to www-data:www-data....

Ilja

Ok, apparently some chown operations didn't get executed. My bad.

So now I get through the whole installation, but get a 404 when going to http://localhost/newscoop/admin/index.php

Mod Rewrite is enabled

Andrey Podshivalov

but seems you didn't restarted apache

Ilja

Did that, no luck....

Andrey Podshivalov

sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo service apache2 restart

Ilja

Did those, sudo a2enmod rewrite resulted in the message "Module rewrite already enabled"

Andrey Podshivalov

make sure that .htaccess file is presented in te newscoop root folder

Ilja

Yes, I was looking for that. However, it isn't there. There must have gone something wrong with permissions during the installation procedure.

I'm gonna rerun the whole process

Ilja

Ok, redid the whole installation process. All requirements were met. Chowned everything recursively to www-data. No errors during installation. But same 404 error after installation when trying to go to http://localhost/newscoop/admin/index.php

.htaccess is absent.

Andrey Podshivalov

copy htaccess to .htaccess

Ilja

Fixed. Renamed a file called 'htaccess' to '.htaccess'

Ilja

Yes, just did that. Tnx....

Howdy, Stranger!
