Hello, I recently bought virtual server and have centos 7 install. I install LAMP and Joomla 3.3.4 stable version following http://www.howtoforge.com/apache_php_mysql_on_centos_7_lamp http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-joomla-on-centos-7 The installation was done and i can access the site and admin page. But trying to upload templates i am getting following error: Warning Warning: Failed to move file! JFolder: :files: Path is not a folder. Path: /var/www/html/joomla/tmp/install_542b61271f5d0 JFolder: :folder: Path is not a folder. Path: /var/www/html/joomla/tmp/install_542b61271f5d0 JFolder: :files: Path is not a folder. Path: /var/www/html/joomla/tmp/install_542b61271f5d0 JInstaller: :Install: Cannot find Joomla XML setup file From Joomla administrator console under system->system Information --> directory permission everything it show is unwritable. I tried googling and non of the resolution is working. Can some one help me on this. Is is problem with apache user not providing folder access permission? My installation location is /var/www/html/joomla and the folder and its content are assigned to apache:apache Regards, Sandeep
You shoud also adjust the permissions. If evertyhing is not writeable, you can not install anything. The default-permissions afre 755 for dirs and 644 for files as described here.
In addition to that you can change the permissions to 644 as well as mentioned http://docs.joomla.org/AC
Thanks for the reply. @till here is the output for ps aux | grep http [root@localhost joomla]# ps aux | grep http root 788 0.0 3.4 474576 17140 ?

I will suggest to make frewall ON for security purpose sorry the link was http://docs.joomla.org/Verifying_permissions Try to make SELINUX disabled, reboot and try the upload. If you want the SELINUX ON then add the FTP and http/https override addition in the SELINUX with targetted mode of SELINUX
@srijan I got it working. Thank you Here are the steps performed. 1 - Edit /etc/selinux/config , change SELINUX=enforcing to SELINUX=permissive 2 - Install FTP sudo yum install vsftpd systemctl vsftpd start chkconfig vsftpd on OPEN up /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf in your favorite editor: anonymous_enable=NO local_enable=YES chroot_local_user=YES systemctl restart vsftpd 3 - Add user and assign the user to a group useradd ftpuser passwd ftpuser usermod -d /var/www/html/joomla ftpuser//assign home dir to user useradd -s /sbin/nologin ftpuser groupadd www-users gpasswd -a ftpuser www-users //assign user to group gpasswd -a apache www-users //assign user to group usermod -a -G www-users ftpuser usermod -a -G www-users apache chmod 2775 /var/www/html/joomla chown -R apache:www-users /var/www/html/joomla chmod g+s /var/www/html/joomla systemctl restart httpd.service systemctl restart vsftpd.service 4 - Modify httpd.conf change Groups apache to Groups www-users Regards, Sandeep
