Matrix 3.20.3 - Strange Message

Squiz Matrix Installation
1

Hi,


I just installed Matrix buld 3.20.3 on Debian 5.0 (Lenny) from SliceHost without much of a problem, following Nic Hubbard and matrix manual. Everything went smoothly but I'm getting this strange message whenever there is action e.g logging in, committing changes etc.







Did I miss something crucial in the install?



Thanks.

Pretty sure it is a file permissions problem.



In the Matrix installation steps, did you do:


    $ chmod -R 755 /home/websites/mysource_matrix
    
    $ cd /home/websites/mysource_matrix
    $ chown -R apache:apache data cache
    $ chmod -R g+w data cache

I get error message for chown -R apache:apache data cache
    chown: invalid user: 'apache:apache'


I noticed Duncan used this permission for build 3.18
    chown -R www-data:www-data data cache


Is there any difference?

I think everything is sorted now.


I restarted Apache, Postgresql and PHP.



Logged back in and created asset and not getting any of the log error.



I'm chuffed. B)

Definitely a difference. This is the user and group that you are assigning permissions. So, you need to check what user and group apache users, then use those for these commands.
