#8 Updated by ksburgess over 8 years ago

I am seeing very similar in my apache logs. Has a workaround for this been found, or just waiting on the bugfix?

#9 Updated by sachinwfs over 8 years ago

There is a workaround posted in the forums by bigfoot65:

Change the permissions of the /var/hda/web-apps folder to 777:

sudo chmod 777 /var/hda/web-apps

Next create the web app.

The ownership of the new folder will be something like nobody:nogroup. Change it to your first admin user:

sudo chown -R firstadminuser:users /var/hda/web-apps/appname
