Yii2 - The directory is not writable by the Web process | frontend/web/assets

Question

I have searched this issue on internet but none of them helped me. Also this one doesn`t:

chgrp apache /path/to/mydir
chmod g+w /path/to/mydir

My server is centos 7. Can you help me?

Answer 1

I have the problem too (in CentOS7). I tried to change the owner and group, but it didn't work. Finally, I closed the selinux, and it work.

setenforce 0

If you want to close it forever, you can change the /etc/selinux/config file:

SELINUX=disabled

Answer 2

Try with following commands:

1. This will give you the name of apache user.
   ps -ef | grep apache | grep -v grep
   
   In most of the cases the user will be www-data.

2. Run these command after going into the /frontend/web folder:
   sudo chgrp www-data ./assets
   and
   sudo chmod g+w ./assets/

Your problem will be solved.
