Blank page and error on permissions

Archive

Hello,

I would like to try Grav. Looks promising and easy to use. But…

I installed an Debian 8.6 server with nginx and php. So far so good.
All works fine. See https://meijberg.me/info.php for pho info,

But if I tried the first installation I get an blank page.

The following error occurred:
#0 /var/www/html/vendor/rockettheme/toolbox/File/src/File.php(195): RocketTheme\Toolbox\File\File->mkdir(’/var/www/html/c…’)
#1 /var/www/html/vendor/rockettheme/toolbox/File/src/File.php(316): RocketTheme\Toolbox\File\File->lock()

Please help.

The actual error is:
$rectory ‘/var/www/html/cache//compiled/files’ failed on error mkdir(): Permission denied’ in /var/www/html/vendor/rockettheme/toolbox/File/src/File.php:420

Take a look at our permissions documentation

Thanks, but I did take a look at this.

But I don;t understand and don’t know what to do.

It’s not just copy and unzip and voila --> It’s works.

I hope there will be some extra information about hoe to set the permissions on an debian, nginx and php system.

Anybody who has a suggestion?

It is just copy and unzip and voila for ‘most’ people. But your are running a linux distro where you’ve setup apache/php manually. Running linux generally means you are an advanced user and fully understand how user/group permissions work. You can look at some of our VPS guides in the learn docs, but these use Ubuntu as examples (Ubuntu is debian based though, so it’s close).
