Folder permissions - Joomla installer

[Aerobaticrug]

Ok, new to Plesk, trying to move from ispconfig to something thats a bit less headache!

So I have Plesk 12 running on Centos 6 64bit in a VPS. I figured out how to upgrade PHP and now I have installed my first website. The website is joomla based but I am getting the below error when installing components:
Warning
Copy failed.

JInstaller: :Install: Failed to copy file /var/www/vhosts/virtual-sim-racing.com/httpdocs/home/tmp/install_55081e65af5fe/pkg_kunena.xml to /var/www/vhosts/virtual-sim-racing.com/httpdocs/home/administrator/manifests/packages/pkg_kunena.xml

Package Install: Could not copy setup file.

This suggest to me a permissions issue - but I have no idea what to do with it. I have checked all of the relevant Joomla folder permissions and they are all showing as writeable, so it looks like something outside of that?

Any help appreciated, don't want to have to stick with ispconfig much longer

Change your PHP settings to run it as CGI or FastCGI as opposed to the default Apache module. This should resolve those permission problems you are facing!

Thanks for the reply - just checked PHP is running as fastcgi application on PHP 5.5.20 already

In that case, please confirm the group and ownership of those folders (/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs)

Group is psaserv and user is vsradmin (the panel admin account for that domain)

May be it's a guanine permissions error.
Also, just be sure your files are in the /home/ folder (in httpdocs) as I see your path. You could try setting write permissions to the destination folders ..

I'll try that, thanks

Ah - it was the installer that comes with plesk for joomla. Installed it manually and it all works ok
