I was introduced to Yii 6 months ago by a course I had in my college. So far I had no major problems with it, until now:
I’m developing a CRM for some small company which server is on “Linux-Hosting” company.
When I created the starting app locally and moved it, together with the Yii folder to their root directory (domain/www/html) I got the message of :
"Application runtime path "/html/VolApp/protected/runtime" is not valid. Please make sure it is a directory writable by the Web server process."
Now usually , on my college server I went to one of the pc’s there , found the directories and made them writable.
Here, however , after downloading Filezilla and changing the chmod from 755(or 775) to 777 the server is blocking me with "Sbox" error.
I contacted the company’s technicians who told me that turning a file into 777 is a serious security flaw and they can’t allow it , and that it is YII’s problem.
So , any ideas how can I run Yii in a 755 ? (775 also says the directory is not writable)
I’d be very glad if someone could help me cause it’s part of my final Engineering degree project.
Unfortunately, this particular server doesn’t allow 777 , so I can’t do much about it.
I’m uploading files directly through the server file manager or with FTP program (FileZilla)
The interesting thing is: The technicians say that “Wordpress” works fine on the server, though as far as I know , it requires 777 as well.(don’t have the means to check that)
