I recently untarred Contao in the web-root directory of a local XAMPP-on-Linux setup, and attempted to follow Contao's installation instructions; the Contao installer wouldn't cooperate (the installer also tried to use the Safe Mode hack, but that didn't work either - presumably because this is all happening on the same machine, or perhaps due to permissions problems). After a frustrating round of re-trying, I've ended up changing the user & group of Contao's folder to (I think?) match that of the XAMPP installation in which it lives (i.e.
Code:
sudo chown -R nobody:root /opt/lampp/htdocs/contao-2.10.2
).
Does this sound like a reasonable way to proceed, or a bad idea?
