Install issue

[menardorama]

Hi

I am trying to setup your application and I'm having trouble to make it work.

My setup is the following :

• Ubuntu 16.04
• Apache2
• PHP 7

PHP Settings =

• open_basedir = /var/www/html/data/config
• allow_url_fopen = On

I can reach the config page but setting tvheadend don't do anything. There is no json config file generated....

Tried also to install php-json but with no luck.

Do you have an idea ?

Thanks

I think you may be the first person to try installing this code, so I hope you don't mind doing a little debugging. I'm using Apache 2.4 and PHP 7.2, but on Arch Linux. The json module is built-in to PHP in Arch.

• Does your directory /var/www/html/data/config exist, and does the HTTP user have write permission to it?
• Is there anything in the Apache error log after you press 'save'?

Well what you are building is exactly what I was looking for and didn't want to code it. The config directory was missing, I have created it in the data directory. To avoid permission issues, the whole directory TVHadmin is owned by the apache user Apache and PHP version are basically the same and nothing appear in the logs 2018-01-09 13:58 GMT+01:00 dave-p <notifications@github.com>:

OK let's compare our systems...
My TVHadmin PHP files are in /srv/http/xxxx/tvh (This is Arch linux of course).
The first code line of include.php is $config_file = 'data/config';
My config file is therefore /srv/http/xxxx/tvh/data/config.

ls -al /srv/http/xxxx/tvh/data/
drwxrwxr-x 2 root http 4096 Jan  9 13:52 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 dave  http 4096 Jan  7 11:10 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 http http   82 Jan  9 13:52 config

My php.ini file contains the line
open_basedir = /srv/http/xxxx/

Reading the PHP manual I now realise that open_basedir must include the directory where the PHP files are located - the code makes a great deal of use of the include() function which is restricted by open_basedir. So in your case it should be /var/www/html; or comment the line out completely if you don't need it.
If you haven't altered the first line in include.php then your configuration file will be /var/www/html/data/config - there shouldn't be a directory 'config' under 'data'.
