After a successful install with no errors, and the DocumentRoot pointing to the correct directory, I am seeing these in my Apache's error logs:

Hello,

Is the web server allowed to create the directory /home/admin/web/gist.test.dev/public_html/gist/cache and write into?

Create the directory /home/admin/web/gist.test.dev/public_html/gist/cache and allow the webserver to create files and directories into.

Simon

Yes permissions and ownership is all correctly set on all directories and files. The cache directory was already present, but I went ahead and deleted it, recreated it, applied the appropriate permissions/ownership once again, and I'm still experiencing the same issue.

Can you create web/test.php with this content:

<pre><?php echo shell_exec('id; ls -lah ../'); ?></pre>

What's the result after browsing the page (http://your-gist-domain/test.php)?

drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 311 Jul 10 16:14 . means that admin is not allowed to create the directory cache directly below /home/admin/web/gist.test.dev/public_html/gist/.

You could try 2 different things:

root@server # chgrp admin /home/admin/web/gist.test.dev/public_html/gist/ && chmod g+w /home/admin/web/gist.test.dev/public_html/gist/
or root@server # mkdir /home/admin/web/gist.test.dev/public_html/gist/cache && chown admin:admin /home/admin/web/gist.test.dev/public_html/gist/

```drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 311 Jul 10 16:14 .``` means that `admin` is not allowed to create the directory `cache` directly below `/home/admin/web/gist.test.dev/public_html/gist/`. You could try 2 different things: * `root@server # chgrp admin /home/admin/web/gist.test.dev/public_html/gist/ && chmod g+w /home/admin/web/gist.test.dev/public_html/gist/` * or `root@server # mkdir /home/admin/web/gist.test.dev/public_html/gist/cache && chown admin:admin /home/admin/web/gist.test.dev/public_html/gist/`

Thank you for pointing that out. That was a very obvious oversight on my part so my apologies.

I unfortunately have a new problem however, and I feel like it may have something to do with the DocumentRoot possibly. Currently, Apache uses the /web directory as the DocumentRoot. This is confirmed as navigating to the site, it reads the index page and shows some of the page. Unfortunately, a lot of the scripts and assets are not being found. In the Apache logs they show 404. Additionally on the actual index page, it shows the following error:

Error: Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\NotFoundHttpException

No route found for "GET /gist/"

Here is an image.

I know configuring the VirtualHost in the Apache configuration is the most ideal way to set the DocumentRoot, but in this particular use case it's not possible. That said, I'm using an .htaccess file to accomplish this. Here are its contents:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^gist.test.dev/gist$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !web/
RewriteRule (.*) web/$1 [L]

Any ideas on this one? Sorry for so many questions.

If the DocumentRoot is web, the the home page is / instead of /gist. That's why you have a 404 error. So if http://gist.test.dev/ equals /home/admin/web/gist.test.dev/public_html/gist/web/ using DocumentRoot /home/admin/web/gist.test.dev/public_html/gist/web/, then use the given .htaccess (https://gitnet.fr/deblan/gist/src/branch/master/web/.htaccess).

But if http://gist.test.dev/ equals /home/admin/web/gist.test.dev/public_html/gist/ using DocumentRoot /home/admin/web/gist.test.dev/public_html/gist/ and if you want to perform a fake DocumentRoot /home/admin/web/gist.test.dev/public_html/gist/web/ using your htaccess, you gonna have security issue because of accessible directories like /app.

If the DocumentRoot is `web`, the the home page is `/` instead of `/gist`. That's why you have a 404 error. So if `http://gist.test.dev/` equals `/home/admin/web/gist.test.dev/public_html/gist/web/` using `DocumentRoot /home/admin/web/gist.test.dev/public_html/gist/web/`, then use the given `.htaccess` (https://gitnet.fr/deblan/gist/src/branch/master/web/.htaccess). But if `http://gist.test.dev/` equals `/home/admin/web/gist.test.dev/public_html/gist/` using `DocumentRoot /home/admin/web/gist.test.dev/public_html/gist/` and if you want to perform a fake `DocumentRoot /home/admin/web/gist.test.dev/public_html/gist/web/` using your htaccess, you gonna have security issue because of accessible directories like `/app`.

Alright. At this point it appears it's not an issue with the application, moreso my server's configuration. Thank you for helping me out thus far! I'll go ahead and close out this issue.
