CakePHP permissions error

This may seem like a duplicate but I have read the similar questions and tried what they suggested and it didn't work.

When I navigate to my CakePHP site I get the following errors

Warning (2): mkdir(): Permission denied [CORE/src/Cache/Engine/FileEngine.php, line 417]

Warning: file_put_contents(/var/www/html/my-application/logs/error.log) [function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/html/my-application/vendor/cakephp/cakephp/src/Log/Engine/FileLog.php on line 134

Warning (512): /var/www/html/my-application/tmp/cache/persistent/ is not writable [CORE/src/Cache/Engine/FileEngine.php, line 425]

Warning (2): file_put_contents(/var/www/html/my-application/logs/error.log) [function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream: Permission denied [CORE/src/Log/Engine/FileLog.php, line 134]

Warning: file_put_contents(/var/www/html/my-application/logs/error.log) [function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/html/my-application/vendor/cakephp/cakephp/src/Log/Engine/FileLog.php on line 134

The thing is I am sure that PHP has access to all the necessary files.

PHP runs as user apache, in group apache. Evidence:

[ec2-user@cv-stg01 my-application]$ ps -efl | grep apache
5 S apache   21863 21861  0  80   0 - 124037 SYSC_s 03:06 ?       00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -DFOREGROUND

Relevant directories are owned by apache:apache and have permissions set to 777 anyway:

[ec2-user@cv-stg01 my-application]$ ls -l
total 132
drwxrwxr-x.  2 apache apache    47 May 12 21:16 bin
-rw-rw-r--.  1 apache apache  1128 May 12 21:16 composer.json
-rw-rw-r--.  1 apache apache 93002 May 12 21:16 composer.lock
drwxrwxr-x.  3 apache apache  4096 May 12 21:19 config
-rw-rw-r--.  1 apache apache   648 May 12 21:16 index.php
drwxrwxrwx.  2 apache apache    34 May 13 03:10 logs
-rw-rw-r--.  1 apache apache  1139 May 12 21:16 phpunit.xml.dist
drwxrwxr-x.  2 apache apache    18 May 12 21:16 plugins
-rw-rw-r--.  1 apache apache   980 May 12 21:16 README.md
drwxrwxr-x.  9 apache apache  4096 May 12 21:16 src
drwxrwxrwx.  4 apache apache    55 May 12 21:16 tests
drwxrwxrwx.  2 apache apache     6 May 13 03:17 tmp
drwxrwxr-x. 28 apache apache  4096 May 12 21:16 vendor
drwxrwxr-x.  9 apache apache  4096 May 12 21:16 webroot

Sub-directories in tmp/ have correct permissions too:

[ec2-user@cv-stg01 tmp]$ ls -l
total 0
drwxrwxrwx. 5 apache apache 48 May 12 21:16 cache
drwxrwxrwx. 2 apache apache 18 May 12 21:16 sessions
drwxrwxrwx. 2 apache apache 18 May 12 21:16 tests

I have also tried re-applying the permissions, just in case, using

sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/my-application
sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www/html/my-application/tmp
sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www/html/my-application/logs
sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www/html/my-application/tests

And I have even logged in as apache and edited the files myself, with no issues

sudo su -s /bin/bash apache
vi /var/www/html/my-applciation/logs/error.log

I'm really struggling to work out what the issue could be now.

We have SELinux installed/enabled, so maybe that's causing issues?

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

YM

People also ask

Is it possible to run CakePHP from the command line?

However, in my experience (CakePHP 2), those commands aren't enough. These commands give your webserver user access to the cache etc, but anything you run from the command line (like the cake command) will probably be running as your user rather than the webserver user.

How to catch exceptions in CakePHP?

This same error handler is used to catch Exceptions. Error handler displays errors when debug is true and logs error when debug is false. CakePHP has number of exception classes and the built in exception handling will capture any uncaught exception and render a useful page.

How to fix “CakePHP is not working” error?

1. Start the terminal 2. sudo mkdir /var/www/cakephp 3.sudo cp -r ~/cakephp/* /var/www/cakephp Open file /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default and change AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All I opened my browser and typed address http://localhost/cakephp/ and I seaw this error message: Are you sure step #4 did anything?

Where are exception logs stored in cake?

When true, exceptions + their stack traces will be logged to Cake\Log\Log. An array of exception class names that should not be logged. This is useful to remove NotFoundExceptions or other common, but uninteresting logs messages. Set to the number of megabytes to increase the memory limit by, when a fatal error is encountered.

Try this:

chown -R apache.apache /path/to/html/

chmod -R 777 /path/to/html/

Then restart httpd service:

service httpd restart
