I am getting a permissions issue, I am on OS X 10.10.5, the troubleshooting documentations does not provide any information on which files I should chmod.
It really depends on your setup. If you are running on OS X with Apache setup like I have explained in these blog posts, you will not have any permissions issues.
If your trying to run with your files outside of your user folder, then you will need to sort permissions out. Those chmod commands in the Troubleshooting section of the docs should be run while you are in the root of your Grav folder.
thanks, I am running it from ~Users/nic.rodriquez/Sites folder where I keep my local work
Then you will need to at least change the user/group that apache is running under. See the blog post I linked to for more information on this.
I can strongly recommend following these blog posts as they will leave you with a highly optimized, pain free solution, with the ease of switching between PHP versions.
I am also using MAMP Pro, I changes the Run Apache/MySQL server as user setting to nic.rodriquez/nic.rodriquez it is running now. is there a way around this?
That should work then. If your files are owned by your user, and the webserver is running as the user all should be good.
maybe you can paste EXACTLY what the permission error is you are seeing???
-> ls -gal

and this when i run an ls -gal
Ok your permissions are all messed up on those files 
That script should fix this up.
Navigate to your Grav install:
$ cd ~Users/nic.rodriquez/Sites/grav
(or wherever you have installed Grav to. Copy the contents of this into a file:
$ vi fixperms.sh
paste in this:
#!/bin/sh
chown nic.rodriquez:staff .
chown -R nic.rodriquez:staff *
find . -type f ! -path "./bin/" | xargs chmod 664
find . -type f -path "./bin/" | xargs chmod 775
find . -type d | xargs chmod 775
find . -type d | xargs chmod +s
umask 0002
Then make it executable:
$ chmod +x fixperms.sh
then run it:
$ ./fixperms.sh
thanks! getting a Permission denied when running the ./fixperms.sh
is it a 700 permissions? The chmod +x should do that for you. Also the ./fixperms.sh is important… the ./ bit…
I have the same problem and if i run the script i get the errors:
: File name too long
chmod: missing operand after ‘775’
Can you help me please?
I think i fixed the : missing 775 problem with adding “-0” like:
find . -type f -path “./bin/” | xargs -0 chmod 775
but not the file name too long problem.
