Did you make the /app/tmp directory and its subdirectories writable?

  • When you keeping app/tmp in different location than webserver default document root it's good to assign it a group of webserver and give access to this group. First change group: "chgrp -R app/tmp www" Then change access rights: "chmod -R g=rwx app/tmp" Your webserver group can be different. Default is _www on mac, www on linux as far as I remember. – Kangur Feb 05 '14 at 12:37

    On Mac, I had to run `sudo chgrp -R _www app/tmp` followed by `chmod -R g=rwx app/tmp`. – Leo Galleguillos Jul 05 '14 at 03:13

    Further to user1415571, I had to `mkdir models` and `mkdir persistent` inside /cache on OSX. – MM. Mar 24 '15 at 15:52
  • @Sojtin you can reboot your docker. docker-compose down -v followed by docker-compose up -d – Invincible Jan 02 '19 at 16:51

Please also make sure below folders app/tmp/cache/models and app/tmp/cache/persistent exists and writeable.

  • Thanks for this hint! I had app/tmp/cache properly set in terms of permissions, but the subfolders weren't there and the application couldn't create them by itself, causing my error logs to soar. It is fixed now, thanks a million! – Marcos Buarque May 14 '15 at 22:29

Check if SELINUX is running. Disable and try.

  • Disabling SELINUX and reboot actually worked for me.. I am using RHLE8 I already had rw permissions on all dir/subdir Those who want commands follow this link: https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/disable-selinux-on-centos-7-rhel-7-fedora-linux/ – Sagar S. Jun 27 '21 at 05:45
