VAR directory file ownership and permissions CentOs

Hi, after many happy years running EzPublish on Ununtu, I have a new server with CentOs.

Previously on install, there would be warnings to change permissions and ownership on autoload extension settings var to www-data.

On this installation, no warnings so all assumed OK. But when I try to import packages, I get file permission errors.

So I have changed the ownership of the directories to apache (www-data does not exist on CentOs) and set the permissions exactly as I had them on my old Ubuntu installations. Still and error saying that the web server cannot modify a file in the VAR directory.

This is 4.3 running on CentOs with PHP 5.3 and php-xml is installed ( a possible cause of package install problems on CentOs according to other threads)

Any ideas. Is apache the right user?

Richard,

I love the mountains on your company's website.

Is your CentOS running SELinux? If so perhaps the context needs to be set. You can check with:

$ ls --context

I generally run a command like this:

$ sudo chcon -R system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t /home/myuser/www

Just the view from the office :-)

good call, but alas not the prob. Checked the status and SELinux. appears to be disabled.

thanks anyway..
