File permission issue, when Installing Magento 2 in OSX El Capitan

Question

I was trying to install Magento 2 in OSX El Capitan system.

For this I was downloaded Magento 2 files from their website and placed in default OSX apache server folder (/Library/Webserver/Documents/Magento). I have made changes in php.ini file as in the Magento installation documents.

I was successfully located the magento installation page using (localhos/magento), but after completing readiliness check it shows some error on file permission. I had give file permission using "chmod 777 directory", but it wont helps.

Screenshot for the error:

Answer 1

Try

 chmod -R 777 directory 

for recursive permission setting

This will set all subfolders an files to the 777 Permission

Answer 2

In your magento installation root,Run the four command below.

sudo chmod -R 777  app/etc
sudo chmod -R 777 var

Above two folder permission are correct in your case.

sudo chmod -R 777  pub/media
sudo chmod -R 777 pub/static
