"ampache.cfg.php.dist" is not readable

[YasserAntonio]

I'm using the ampache/ampache:nosql image on armv7 when I try to install ampache
I get the error ( screenshot) that "ampache.cfg.php.dist"is not readable.

I chmoded it to 777:

root@b6d4084a3b20:/# chmod 777 /var/temp/ampache.cfg.php.dist
root@b6d4084a3b20:/# ls -la /var/temp/ampache.cfg.php.dist
-rwxrwxrwx 1 www-data www-data 41850 Aug 20 02:56 /var/temp/ampache.cfg.php.dist
root@b6d4084a3b20:/# 

but I'm still getting the error. Any idea how to solve this ?

Does the Apache2 access.log give any clue?

nope it's empty

I checked the logs in var/logs and found nothing. Any idea where I can find the result/log of the test from the installation test ?

had to remove my docker volume : - /home/pi/ampache/config:/var/www/config
so no persistant configuration for the moment... if you guys knows a way to make it persistant I 'm very interested

Sorry, I'm not very familiar with docker so I'll leave this for @lachlan-00.

no problem ! Thanks for you help !

This issue still persists to this day, and I haven't really managed to get it working.

I have even removed a mounted volume for the configuration, but that gives the same error.

Is there a known solution to this?

[YasserAntonio]

nope.. but don't forget to chmod after removing your volume, my Ampache on arm7 is working now. To make a regular backup I mounted a volume next to the ampache folder from where I do a regular copy using a cron task. Lot of DB have troubles with mounted volume and ampache is no exception ..

Okay, so what I did to get it working is the following.
Start up the docker container without any volumes, and when the installation page shows copy out the files from /var/www/config to wherever you want them to reside on the host. In my case this is /mnt/containers/ampache/config so I did docker cp ampache:/var/www/config /mnt/containers/ampache/ ; chown -R www-data:www-data /mnt/containers/ampache/config
Now you can safely remove the running container and boot up your final instance with /mnt/containers/ampache/config bindmounted to /var/www/config.
