In reference to this guide:

http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.1/install-gde/prereq/file-system-perms.html

I have followed the guide to install Magento2 into a RHEL 7.2 server word-for-word, however, have not managed to get past the permissions check within the setup wizard.

As per the screenshot below, the permissions as far as I can see, are set correctly and the directories are writable by the Apache user, however, the check just fails.

I have run a further test by temporarily changing the permissions on one folder to 777, however, this also has no effect and still shows up as failed, so I can't help thinking there's something I've missed. I've spent 2-3 hours on this already so have finally given up.

Please see the below screenshot as a reference to my setup:

  • The problem I see is ownership, not permissions. In your system, everything is owned by apache:apache but ownership should be <magento file system owner>:apache. Start here for information. Commented Sep 13, 2016 at 18:01
  • OK, thanks. I've changed this now so that the user 'magento' which is a member of the 'apache' group is the owner, however I'm still getting this error. Any other ideas would be appreciated! Commented Sep 20, 2016 at 18:00
  • Did you run the command as a user with root privileges? Did the command return any errors? Commented Sep 22, 2016 at 12:45

  • As shown in the screenshot, the permissions are set to rwxrwxr-x which equates to 775 for the first command. Commented Sep 14, 2016 at 21:16
  • yes , rwxrwxr-x equals to 775 for reference linuxcommand.org/lts0070.php Commented Sep 15, 2016 at 4:14
  • This isn't correct for Magento versions 2.0.6 and later. Instead, try the following command from the Magento root directory: cd /var/www/html/magento2 && sudo find var vendor pub/static pub/media app/etc -type f -exec chmod g+w {} \; && sudo find var vendor pub/static pub/media app/etc -type d -exec chmod g+ws {} \; && sudo chown -R :apache . && sudo chmod u+x bin/magento Commented Sep 22, 2016 at 12:52
