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."
Looks like SELinux was hosing me. If anybody else runs into this error
down the road, go to the SELinux Administration applet (Applications ->
System Tools -> SELinux Management) and set the enforcing mode
appropriately. Looks like Drupal only needs this file to be writable for
a short time anyway, so I think you can return enforcing mode to
Enforcing as soon as you're done with your Drupal configuration.
