Install on SourceForge

Permalink
I am trying to install Concrete5 into a vhost on SourceForge. The install page comes up but always says the webserver doesn't have write access to the config files.
--
The config/, packages/ and files/ directories must be writable by your web server.
---
But the permissions are OK.
-bash-3.2$ ls -al files packages config
config:
total 16
drwxrwxrwx 2 whitemice coils 80 Dec 2 14:58 .
drwxrwsr-x 20 dummy coils 2048 Dec 2 14:58 ..
-rwxrwxrwx 1 whitemice coils 605 Dec 2 14:58 site_theme_paths.php

files:
total 8
drwxrwxrwx 2 whitemice coils 80 Dec 2 14:58 .
drwxrwsr-x 20 dummy coils 2048 Dec 2 14:58 ..
-rwxrwxrwx 1 whitemice coils 0 Dec 2 14:58 index.html

packages:

drwxrwxrwx 2 whitemice coils 80 Dec 2 14:58 .

I am not sure, SF might have some wacky permissions, try contacting support

it is documented here:
https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/Project%20web%20a...

you need to use the "persistent" directory for folders that must be writable, and in the main htdocs directory you should put links to the directories in the persistent folder.

Now everything works! :)
