web install but no write permission

[scuben]

If i try to install the latest contao version with the web installer it seems everything works fine and it shows me that the installation succeeded. but as i do not have write permissions in fact the installation did nothing (install.php line 238).

Hm, there is a writable check in the installer actually. Any error messages?

[scuben]

No error, all green given me the information it worked. I assume you need to throw an exception instead of just return false if the dir's not writeable.

Can you send me the FTP login credentials via e-mail? I'll check then.

[scuben]

that wont work. it's my local mbp ml.

[leofeyer]

What does the Safe Mode Hack check say?

[scuben]

I'll have to need it activated.

[leofeyer]

Ok, then we obviously need a more detailed permission check in the installer.

[scuben]

yes that and the ability to enter ftp credentials to install it by accessing the web dir by ftp :)

Added a better check in 8de1dbf. Will create a new ticket regarding your feature request (FTP credentials).
