I have some question about permission for my apache.



The following situation came in a test up:
I want to install wordpress and the setup told me that he can not create the file wp-config.php.
So I noticed that there is a permission problem. But how can I fix this?



All folders in var/www/html are owned by apache:apache and has 755 permissions (drwxr-xr-x).



What information you need to give me some suggestions?




centos apache-httpd

You should allow the user on which privileges apache process is running to write to this file.
To check the name of user used by apache process you can run ps -ef | grep httpd and then set the owner for wp-config.php file but after installation will be finished you should disallow apache to make changes on this file.

Postfix configuration issue with fips on centos 7; mailgun relay

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
