Linux-chmod command after installing PHP application hint file is still not writable

I want to install some open source PHP applications under my Linux system, such as Phpfreechat, I put it under/var/www/html/freechat, The public and private folders in the Data folder under Freechat are then used chmod 777command, and then use the ls -al datacommand to see the result:

drwxr-xr-x. 4 root root 4096 June 17 15:07.
Drwxr-xr-x. Root root 4096 June 17 15:22.
Drwxrwxrwx. 2 root root 4096 June 15:07 private
Drwxrwxrwx. 3 root root 4096 June 15:07

Public

But typing http://localhost/freechat in the browser will get this error:

Phpfreechat cannot is initialized, please correct these errors:

Also tried to use recursive chmod command, the error is still.

Using code

Discover that the username is Apache, and then found in/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf that both user and group are Apache. The reason why the display file is not writable because of this user's setup problem? If so, how do I change it? If not, what is the problem?

Problem solved, unexpectedly is selinux obstruction. setenforce 0after use, it succeeds.

That's why you should try it. chown -rf apache.apache /var/www/html/freechat/data/

chmod 777-r/var/www/html/freechat/data

Recursive Modify Permissions
Or to @joyqi, change the directory owner to Apache.

Chown-r Apache:apache/var/www/html/freechat

RPM system must remember Setenforce 0, temporarily shut down selinux and then test
