在本地环境中为drupal 8设置目录权限

Question

I've read through the official docs of drupal 8 and still don't get the idea of how to setup correct permission of the folders and files.

When we give 777 permission it might work but it's not an elegant way to do so, is there any easy way to setup permission. I'm using Ubuntu 16.04.

Answer 1

If your system is running with an enforced security policy (SELinux) you may have to set the appropriate rules for httpd/drupal to run properly.

Other than that, following requirements as specified in INSTALL.TXT should be enough.

Missing files directory :

mkdir sites/default/files
chmod a+w sites/default/files

You can also set permissions on sites/default/ as well so that your web server is able to create directories under this path :

chmod a+w sites/default

---

Missing settings.php :

cp sites/default/default.settings.php sites/default/settings.php

Make it writable for the installation :

chmod a+w sites/default/settings.php

And once the installation is finished, set the permissions back :

chmod go-w sites/default/settings.php

---

Multisite :

For a multisite installation you would replace default by the site directory :

mkdir sites/example.com/files
chmod a+w sites/example.com/files
cp sites/default/defaults.settings.php sites/example.com/settings.php
