Gibbon only over a local network
in Installation
Hello,
I'm new to Gibbon and Linux based OS so I apologize if I have missed an obvious answer for the following.
I would like to run Gibbon over a local network; not to be accessed over the web. The server is running Ubuntu. Would it be better to use Windows? Also, is there a more in-depth guide I can follow from start to finish as it seems I'm missing something?
Thank you

php -r 'echo "\n\nYour PHP installation is working fine.\n\n\n";' in terminal, it says "Your PHP installation is working fine."
"The directory containing the Gibbon files is not currently writable, or config.php already exists in the root folder and is not empty or is not writable, so the installer cannot proceed."
Sounds like you're getting closer. The directory where Gibbon is installed (and all the files in it) needs to have read/write access by the process running PHP. Generally, this means running the command `chmod -R 755` on the path where Gibbon is installed.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for such a fast reply. I'm still learning as I go or I should say trial by fire. How do I run the command on the path? Could you show me an example please?
Thanks!
sudo chmod -R755 /var/www/html
Thanks
www-data
(which is typical for Ubuntu, but also can vary), I could use the commands:chgrp www-data /var/www/html/Gibbon -R
chown www-data /var/www/html/Gibbon -R
Here's a random search result that has some more info about how those two commands work: https://www.pair.com/support/kb/paircloud-changing-file-ownership-using-chown-and-chgrp/
Do you have any other webpages or web applications running? You could check their permissions & ownership and try the same settings with your Gibbon directory.
The only other way to see that error is if there's already a config.php file in your Gibbon folder, but if you haven't been able to install yet there shouldn't be... worth a double-check though.
chcon -R -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t
my question is......
how to connect gibbon and localhost?
