I specified a different directory name with for this secondary Ninja installation. Getting these errors. Maybe this is somehow related?
Also, does this guidance below that I earlier received from the Server Admin trigger any other ideas? This was why I upgraded the Sitepad and Ninja. Same authentication problem afterwards. But that message above when I tried to install a second directory/instance of Ninja sounds like possibly related.
I’m not familiar with Sitepad.
I suggest asking your webhost for advise on increasing the PHP memory limit.
I requested of the Server Admin that they increase the php memory. In the meantime, why would the 2nd Ninja install cause these errors:
Could not write the config file: update_pass.php
Could not write the config file: .env
These seem directly related to my authentication problem. This is for a new installation of Ninja. Please advise. Is Ninja v5.8.33 compatible with PHP 8.1.27 ?
There’s info on file permissions here:
Yes, PHP 8.1 and 8.2 are supported.
What might be causing these 2 errors for a fresh installation of Ninja:
Could not write the config file: update_pass.php
Could not write the config file: .env
I assume invalid file permissions.
Can you please be more specific for a novice. I am really pulling my hair out. I don’t know where else to turn for guidance.
I suggest trying to change the file permissions based on the docs I linked above.
You may want to consider using the hosted option, setting up and maintaining the selfhost app can require some expertise.
I imagine you’re going to get many customers with the same problem. I am only the first to bring this to your attention. Thanks for the guidance, and have a nice day.
I hade the same could not write the config file errors and turns out it was because my web hosting has a limit on the number of files (300,000) that I can store in my account and when trying to install Ninja it was pushing past that limit. After removing some ancient/unused Softaculous installs, Ninja installed without issue. (other than enabling PHP requirements and whatnot, reasonable interruptions)
I’ve had my hosting for 15 years without ever deleting anything so I was long overdue for some Spring cleaning.
