Yii2 - The directory is not writable by the Web process | frontend/web/assets

i have same issue in ubuto instance i did like that and issue solve

sudo chmod 777 /home/nicjccom/public_html/asset

and also did this

sudo chgrp root /home/nicjccom/public_html/asset

I have the problem too (in CentOS7). I tried to change the owner and group, but it didn't work. Finally, I closed the selinux, and it work.

setenforce 0

If you want to close it forever, you can change the /etc/selinux/config file:

SELINUX=disabled

Try with following commands:

  1. This will give you the name of apache user.
    ps -ef | grep apache | grep -v grep

    In most of the cases the user will be www-data.

  2. Run these command after going into the /frontend/web folder:
    sudo chgrp www-data ./assets
    and
    sudo chmod g+w ./assets/

Your problem will be solved.
