GLPI - File Permission Issues

Hello,

After hours of scouring the web and rummaging through my brain, I'm turning to the knowledge of some of you for a problem that's becoming hard to understand; let me explain:

I have a Fedora 20 server on which I've installed Apache2 (that is, httpd on Fedora) as well as MySQL and PHP5, in short, a brand new and functional LAMP stack (phpMyAdmin works perfectly, etc.)

I wanted to install GLPI to manage the IT assets, so far everything is fine; I downloaded it, copied/pasted the ./glpi directory into /var/www/html/glpi and I chown everything, which gives us: 

chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/glpi

Normally, that should be enough, but nothing happens; during the installation process, I get errors saying that permissions are insufficient to create directories and files

So I decide to give it my all, at least for the time being, since my server is only local: 

chmod -R 777 /var/www/html/glpi


I then check with ls -l /var/www/html/glpi and I get: 

drwxrwxrwx. 2 apache apache 4096 20 Jun 15:33 ajax
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 apache apache 159 18 Jun 10:18 AUTHORS.txt
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 apache apache 64 18 Jun 10:19 CHANGELOG.txt

drwxrwxrwx. 2 apache apache 4096 20 Jun 15:33 scripts
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 apache apache 5632 18 Jun 10:18 status.php


So even a simple guest user could create a folder, modify or create a file, etc.

EXCEPT THAT... Once again during the installation, I still get messages like: 

Configuration file write test 

The folder could not be created.
Checking permissions on the directory: /var/www/html/glpi/config'


I specify that I restarted Apache after each of these actions, even tried to stop/start but nothing works...

So if anyone has a suggestion for a problem I couldn't even conceive, it is welcome :-)

Configuration: Linux / Firefox 30.0

Hello,

Surely Apache is not running with the user apache and the group apache.
On my machine, it’s the user www-data and the group www-data.

Check in the file /etc/apache2.conf

Best regards

What does the Apache config file say about the user and group used?
