The Composr installation log for step 10 is below:
Install log:
Congratulations! Composr is now successfully installed! The final step is to delete this file (install.php) from your server. This prevents other users from running this installation script, which would allow them to delete your database. As a security measure, Composr will not work until you delete install.php from the server. It is also a good idea to change _config.php so it has standard file permissions for a PHP script, to prevent potentially malicious users writing into the file (i.e. remove world/group write access).
If you need to run this installer again, you will need to upload this file again, so you may wish to keep a copy of install.php on your hard drive.
Your Composr is not yet configured, which can be done at any time from the Admin Zone.


I never actually got around to looking at this (I got busy), but it looks like you sorted out anyway

thank you both for trying to reolve the CentOS issues.


There were a couple of sticking points.
The first was selinux as I suspected. I have added this to the next documentation update…
You may have selinux installed, you can see if you do with sestatus:Code
[root@localhost html]# sestatus
SELinux status: enabled
SELinuxfs mount: /sys/fs/selinux
SELinux root directory: /etc/selinux
Loaded policy name: targeted
Current mode: enforcing
Mode from config file: enforcing
Policy MLS status: enabled
Policy deny_unknown status: allowed
Max kernel policy version: 28
If so, you need to set additional write permissions with something like:
chcon -R -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t /var/www
Then there was a legitimate bug, installation failing when MySQL was set to strict mode by default and the mysqli database driver was used for installation (mysql was fine). I'll fix that in the next RC.

You are good. i'm headed there now to check it out.
The site came up and as soon as i figure out the user login it should be fine.
Next i want to see if i can replicate it…install it myself from scratch.
thanks again to you and Hardtransit for spending so much time on this. i hope to be able to support cms in the greater los angeles area at some point.
