To resolve this issue give TimeTrex write permissions to the directories mentioned in the error message.

I've tried. The directories aren't to be found. I have tried creating them and giving them the permissions in about every location I can think of (root/ , cellcommonline.com/timetrex/ , cellcommonline.com/ ). Nothing seems to work.

The installation path is cellcommonline.com/timetrex/interface/install/install.php. The error is the same as above. Any suggestions on where these directories should be located?

Thanks

The full directory name is displayed in the error message, ie:

/tmp/timetrex

If you continue to have problems creating the directories, I may suggest trying our free cloud hosted product where no software installation is necessary: http://www.timetrex.com/cloud_community.php

Hi

I am also encountering this issue. I have trying to install TimeTrex on my webhost which is a shared linux host with my hosting provider.


Thanks

Peter

TimeTrex is not supported in a shared web-hosting environment.

Please read this FAQ post for more information: http://forums.timetrex.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=6072

Re: Installing Warning: Not writable (/tmp/timetrex) (FIXED)

Best way to fix this problem. Create 3 folders in your timetrex directory, /tmp, /log, /cache. Then set permissions for all 3 to 777.

Then run the setup. When the error for the not writable shows up. On the bottom of the page there is, Your TimeTrex configuration file (timetrex.ini.php) is located at: /homepages/1/d123456789/htdocs/yourfolders/timetrex/includes/../timetrex.ini.php.

Copy /homepages/1/d123456789/htdocs/yourfolders/timetrex/ and then open the timetrex.php.ini for editing.

Locate - log = /var/log/timetrex on about line 20, then change to, log = /homepages/1/d123456789/htdocs/yourfolders/timetrex/log

next locate - storage = /var/timetrex/storage on about line 26, then change to, log = /homepages/1/d123456789/htdocs/yourfolders/timetrex/tmp

finally locate - dir = /tmp/timetrex on about line 73, then change to, log = /homepages/1/d123456789/htdocs/yourfolders/timetrex/cache

save the file.

Click Re-Check to check if the dir are readable.

If the dir are readable you may still see
Warning: PHP CLI requirements failed while executing
"/usr/bin/php

but you should be able to click next to install.

But if you see

Memory Limit: Warning: 120M (Set this to 128M or higher)

and it won't let you install

the fix is to

create a php.ini file in /timetrex/interface/install

next open the file to edit and enter memory_limit: 128M

save the file

then click Re-Check to see if the next button is clickable to install.
