When I attempt to run the installer script via web browser, the initial system requirements check complains:
"You have a problem! 'config/config.php' is not writeable. Please ensure that the file permissions are set correctly for the installation process."
Poked around and found webroot/zikula/config/config.php was broken link -- fixed according to apparent intention (config.php -> /usr/share/zikula/config/config.php). This didn't help. Discovered /usr/share/zikula/config/config.php was a symlink to /etc/zikula/config.php. Opened permissions fully -- but still getting same "not writeable" error from browser-based pre-install system check.
Zikula installed via Yum on Fedora 14.
Various finagling with permissions/recreating links didn't help -- currently out of ideas -- would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks,
CS

Hello.
what version of Zikula are you attempting to install? Did you download it directly from this site? -

Uhm, weird!
And if you copy the config to your zikula folder in the webroot?
there has little chances to fail.
Greetings and welcome.

Thanks for suggestions -- discovered it was an SELinux issue -- fixed with the following commands:
semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t '/etc/zikula/config.php'
restorecon -v '/etc/zikula/config.php'

Wow,
I hope you try Zikula 1.3 (development tarballs at http://ci.zikula.org/job/Zikula-1.3.0/) and see the big jump from 1.2.x. And also to play with the most powerful module ATM for Zikula 1.3: Clip.
Greetings!
