Hello, I’m an experienced Mautic user and have been using it for months for team’s projects. Today I want to set up my dev environment from scratch with the latest ‘staging’ branch. The web installer works fine, while I had to go back and forth to fix various permission issues during this process. Especially some errors were not showing on the page directly, instead, you have to ‘tail’ the Apache error log to discover it.
After it’s all done, I managed to come up with a script with all the commands needed to fix the permission issues, I hope it would be helpful for the others. As you can see from the script, my workaround to make those special directories writable by both my user account and the web daemon process is to change the group owner to the web daemon account, also chmod to 775.
2. Run ‘composer install’ in the root directory as described in the README file.
3. Run the following script to set the folder permissions correctly. NOTE: change the “my_linux_account” and “web_daemon_account” properly according your sever.
