I am trying to upgrade my development server from 3.10.11 (which works fine) to 4.x in preparation for Joomla 3.x going out of support in August 23.
When I do run the live update, I get an alert box in my browser saying that the server was unable to write the file:
/var/www/html/api/components/com_banners/src/Controller/BannersController.php
This is the first file in alphabetical order that doesn't exist on the server. So I assume that in some way the apache user (the user that my web server runs as) isn't able to create either a new file or a new directory in that folder.
The owner:group
of the folder /var/www/html is apache:apache
and I have tried setting permissions to 775
, but I still get the same message.
Normally as I am running fedora I would expect selinux to be the culprit of this kind of error but running setenforce 0
doesn't help.
I am fairly sure this isn't a Joomla issue so much as that I have misconfigured my server somehow. That said I can't work out at all what the issue is.
