I have a server dedicated to Magento 2, and followed the steps on the page below: http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.1/install-gde/prereq/file-sys-perms-over.html
I didn't do the umask part of the following page since the page says, "We recommend changing the umask on a one-user or shared hosting system only". http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.1/install-gde/install/post-install-umask.html
So, in short, I ran the following commands only regarding the permissions:
cd <your Magento install dir>
find var pub/static pub/media app/etc -type f -exec chmod g+w {} \;
find var pub/static pub/media app/etc -type d -exec chmod g+ws {} \;
Here are the permissions of the files after these steps:
drwxrwxr-x 12 magento2 apache 4096 Feb 6 04:05 .
drwxrwxr-x 4 root root 4096 Feb 6 04:05 ..

Then, I issued the magento setup:install, and it finished without any errors, but the installer created some files with wrong permissions, which causes an error when accessing the site. Here are the permissions after running the installer:
$ ls -la var/cache/
total 24
drwxrwsr-x 6 magento2 apache 4096 Feb 6 04:06 .
drwxrwsr-x 8 magento2 apache 4096 Feb 6 04:06 ..

drwxrwxrwx 2 magento2 apache 4096 Feb 6 04:06 mage--4
drwxrwxrwx 2 magento2 apache 4096 Feb 6 04:06 mage--9
drwxrwxrwx 2 magento2 apache 4096 Feb 6 04:06 mage-tags
$ ls -l var/cache/mage-tags/
total 12

-rw-rw---- 1 magento2 magento2 364 Feb 6 04:06 mage---504_MAGE
Here is the error message:
[2017-02-05 19:33:56] main.CRITICAL: Exception: Warning: file_put_contents(/path/to/magento2/var/cache//mage-tags/mage---504_CONFIG): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /path/to/magento2/vendor/colinmollenhour/cache-backend-file/File.php on line 663 in /path/to/vendor/magento/framework/App/ErrorHandler.php:61
I'm not sure which one should be fixed, either the installer or the documentation.
For those who experience the same issue, to work around this, I ran the chmod command again.
Related issues?
Environment:
- CentOS 6.8
- Apache 2.2
- Magento 2.1.3
Thank you.
