Files not writable on install - SELinux
Hardware description -- server, a resource dream for just playing around
Operating System -- CentOS 5
AMP Stack -- Not sure, I'm away from the system right now
Network Environment -- local network, server & browser on same machine
Package on SourceForge (2.3.1548.tar.gz)
During the install, all of the directories came up as not writable. I changed the permissions as instructed (chmod 777) and hit refresh. Still though the directories weren't writable. I made sure I changed it on the correct directories and that they were set correctly. I finally figured out SELinux was getting in the way, disallowing the webserver to make changes to those files.
To disable it until reboot on CentOS, I issued the command: setenforce 0

The install worked great after that.

That's interesting. We haven't been testing with SELinux so thanks for the report.
SELinux is tricky to setup with any web-based application. Hopefully at some point, somebody from the project will be able to put together a working SELinux/OpenFISMA system:
