friendica installation on the VPS hosting
--
Up to this point we basically performed a standard LAMP installation on a ubuntu 22.04 LTS VPS hosting.

The following steps concern the actual friendica server installation.

---

---

creating the directory for friendica and the user www-data

creat directories and permission for user www-data

back ground information what-is-var-www-html?
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16197663/what-is-var-www-htm

rootname@VPShosting:~# sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www
rootname@VPShosting:~# cd /var/www

creating user www-data and changing from user rootname to www-data

rootname@VPShosting:~/var/www# sudo -u www-data bash
www-data@VPShosting:~$
(confirmation check if this is where console changes to www-data@VPShosting:~#)

moving (deactivating) the old /html folder

www-data@VPShosting:~$ mv html html.bak
The new /html folder will be created when we clone the gitHub stable branch of friendica in the next step.

---

cloning friendica from the gitHub repository

www-data@VPShosting:~$ git clone https://github.com/friendica/friendica.git -b stable html

configure PHP dependencies

www-data@VPShosting:~$ cd html
www-data@VPShosting:~/html$ bin/composer.phar install --no-dev
(is this the point the SSL install went wrong?)

creating folder for page view renderings

www-data@VPShosting:~/html$ mkdir -p view/smarty3
www-data@VPShosting:~/html$ chmod 775 view/smarty3

cloning the addons github repository

www-data@VPShosting:~/html$ git clone https://github.com/friendica/friendica-addons.git -b stable addon

activating .htaccess

www-data@VPShosting:~/html$ cp .htaccess-dist .htaccess

exiting user www-data

Correct CMOD settings for smarty3, subfolders and their users

Hi there @Friendica Support ,
this question is related to this help request:
frio theme - Service Unavailable
tupambae.org/display/0ac89072-…

I had a look at the smarty CHMOD settings and found the following:

drwxrwxr-x 3 www-data www-data 4096 Nov 8 20:23 smarty3
If I'm not wrong that's CMOD 775 (rwx|rwx|r-x) (?)

In the installation process the commands to create the smarty folders were:
www-data@VPShosting:~/html$ mkdir -p view/smarty3
www-data@VPShosting:~/html$ chmod 775 view/smarty3
see:

I looked into the subfolders and found:

rootname@VPShosting:/var/www/html/view/smarty3# ls -l
drwxr-xr-x 222 www-data www-data 4096 Nov 25 17:20 compiled => CMOD 755 (rwx|r-x|r-x) (?)
--
The folder "compiled" has a long list of sub-folders apparently each having 2 more steps of sub-folders.

rootname@VPShosting:/var/www/html/view/smarty3/compiled# ls -l
total 880

I found two types of folders, some few created on different dates strangely belonging to the user root instead of www-data, here two examples and how those two types of subfolders look like.
I guess the folders owned by root are wrong?
