Does Apps install work under BOA?

I applied the latest BOA HEAD upgrade and included the Open Enterprise (OE 1.0-rc3) platform. When I create a site and log in as admin, then try to install an App within OE, I run into problems. OE asks for the ftp user/password then looks like it's doing the install. Once done I get "access denied", and the App has not been installed. The ftp user/pw works fine with CoreFTP, so the permissions seem correct. Any suggests?

Thanks

There are security concerns

There are security concerns around leaving the directories writeable for the apps model to work. As a compromise the BOA team came up with the following:

  • Create an empty control file, either in sites/all/modules/apps-allow.info or sites/domain/modules/apps-allow.info.
  • Then run 'Reset password' task. It will open write access where required until the next site 'Verify' task will run.
  • After installing the Apps required remember to re-Verify the site to restore default, safe permissions.

    • You can read more about this in the release notes for BOA 2.0.3 http://omega8.cc/boa-203-edition-152.
