Okay, so I'm trying to setup Drupal on Fedora 8, using the standard RPMs for everything, all installed using Yum. I think I have all the RPMs installed fine. I'm following the /usr/share/doc/drupal5.7/drupal-README.fedora file and /usr/share/doc/drupal-5.7/INSTALL.txt file. I'm at Step 3 in INSTALL.txt, where it says to run the install script. I have gotten Apache setup correctly, and when I access the http://localhost/drupal/ URL, I get a page that contains the Drupal icon and artwork with the following Drupal error message: "The Drupal installer requires write permissions to ./sites/default/settings.php during the installation process." Per step 1 in drupal-README.fedora, I already executed a sudo chmod 666 /etc/drupal/default/settings.php and the file has 666 permissions: -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 5976 2007-07-08 21:28 settings.php I verified that it's writable with a simple touch: [dave@linux default]$ touch settings.php [dave@linux default]$ ll total 12 -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 5976 2008-03-24 22:01 settings.php When I look in /usr/share/drupal, I can see that it's symlinked to /etc/drupal/ : lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2008-03-24 20:47 sites -> ../../../etc/drupal Any ideas what's happening here? I have restarted Apache a couple of times, without success. Not sure if there is some weird SELinux thing going on here. I don't see any SELinux warnings pop up, but maybe there is a log file I should be looking in?? Thanks, -- Dave
