Subject: Can't launch dokuwiki install
Hi gurus,
I have tried this for several times, but it always fail as these error:
1. From web page:

DokuWiki Setup Error
The datadir ('pages') at ./data/pages is not found, isn't accessible or writable. You should check your config and permission settings. Or maybe you want to run the installer?

2. This is permission on Linux:

#ls -ld dowiki/
drwxrwxr-x. 8 apache apache 4096 Aug 24  2017 dowiki/

# ls -lr dowiki/
total 104
-rw-rw-r--.  1 apache apache    33 Aug 24  2017 VERSION

drwxrwxr-x.  2 apache apache  4096 Aug 24  2017 bin
 
3. My httpd  is running as apache user:

# ps -ef|grep apache
apache   10539 10538  0 09:50 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -DFOREGROUND
apache   10540 10538  0 09:50 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -DFOREGROUND

apache   10665 10538  0 09:58 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -DFOREGROUND
apache   10702 10538  0 10:00 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -DFOREGROUND

PHP is also working fine as I can see from web page of index.php:

Apache Version    Apache/2.4.6 (CentOS) OpenSSL/1.0.1e-fips mod_fcgid/2.3.9 PHP/5.4.16 mod_wsgi/3.4 Python/2.7.5
Apache API Version    20120211
Server Administrator    root@localhost
Hostname:Port    test.test.com:0
User/Group    apache(48)/48
Max Requests    Per Child: 0 - Keep Alive: on - Max Per Connection: 100
Timeouts    Connection: 60 - Keep-Alive: 5


4. This is httpd.conf:

<Directory />
    AllowOverride none
    Require all denied
</Directory>


DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"

<Directory "/var/www">
    AllowOverride None
    Require all granted
</Directory>

<Directory "/var/www/html">
    directoryIndex index.php index.html
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all

    Require all granted
</Directory>


<IfModule dir_module>
    DirectoryIndex index.html
</IfModule>
<IfModule alias_module>


    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/"

</IfModule>

<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin">
    AllowOverride None
    Options None
    Require all granted
</Directory>

<IfModule mime_module>
    TypesConfig /etc/mime.types

    AddType application/x-compress .Z
    AddType application/x-gzip .gz .tgz

    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
    AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps


    AddType text/html .shtml
    AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml
</IfModule>

AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

<IfModule mime_magic_module>
    MIMEMagicFile conf/magic
</IfModule>


EnableSendfile on

IncludeOptional conf.d/*.conf

5. There was this error reported before I remove data/.htaccess:

[Thu Jul 12 10:21:25.502853 2018] [access_compat:error] [pid 11074] [client 10.32.198.75:61414] AH01797: client denied by server configuration: /var/www/html/dowiki/data

And after I remove .ht.. file, I can even list /data/pages dir from web.

==========================================
And now it just stopped in here:

DokuWiki Setup Error
The datadir ('pages') at ./data/pages is not found, isn't accessible or writable. You should check your config and permission settings. Or maybe you want to run the installer?

Anyone can help on it I would appreciate!!

Have you  made any changes to the .htaccess file in /data?

hi.
Apparently, permissions are good. So, there is probably something else...
#ls -ld dowiki/
drwxrwxr-x. 8 apache apache 4096 Aug 24  2017 dowiki/
----------^ this dot indicates selinux context

selinux could be preventing your web server from writing in those directories.

You might want to relabel your dowiki hierarchy (or (temporarily) disable selinux)

Would this would be independent of selinux, the presence of lack of an .htaccess file?  If the presence or not of an .htaccess file is affecting access to his files, then what is in his .htaccess?

I did not change .htaccess file, just tried to move it out of /data.
Anyway it has been resolved by disable selinux :)
Thank you!
