Not possible to use the Project Installer to install modules/themes/layouts.

[klonos]

When trying to use the Project Installer to install a project, it fails with the following errors:

• Failed to install one project.
• Error installing <project_name>. Permissions are not set up properly.

I have tried:

chown -R 505:www-data files && chmod -R 770 files

...but it didn't solve the problem. Any pointers?

@klonos this project is an ansible role which is used by the main beetbox project.

To set this as the main project role you usebeet_project: backdrop see the example config file -- https://github.com/beetboxvm/beetbox/blob/master/.beetbox/config.yml#L29

Hello @thom8 and please excuse my ignorance...

I was merely trying to follow the Quickstart instructions in this repo:

git clone https://github.com/beetboxvm/ansible-role-beetbox-backdrop.git backdrop && cd $_
composer require --dev beet/box
vagrant up

...so I was expecting this to result in a working Backdrop CMS installation. Are you suggesting that I need to set beet_project: backdrop (in my local.config.yml file??) and then re-provision?

[klonos]

...this is what is already included in the config.yml after vagrant up has finished running:

---
beet_domain: "backdrop.local"
beet_root: "{{ beet_base }}/docroot"
role_path: "{{ beet_home }}/provisioning/ansible/roles/beetboxvm.backdrop"

beet_project: backdrop
backdrop_checkout: yes
backdrop_checkout_depth: ~
backdrop_install_site: yes
backdrop_account_name: admin
backdrop_account_pass: admin

As you can see beet_project: backdrop is already there.

@klonos this project is only the backdrop ansible role that is included in the main project -- https://github.com/beetboxvm/beetbox

So this particular project is not designed to be used separately and only contains build config to be able to develop and test the role.

The main project has an example of how to use this role -- https://github.com/beetboxvm/beetbox/blob/master/.beetbox/config.yml#L29-L35
