Warning: require(app/Mage.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/cm/public_html/magento/index.php on line 26

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘app/Mage.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/cm/public_html/magento/index.php on line 26

First step of install, I get this error.

As you can see I did a full 777 permissions on it even to make sure it wasn’t a permissions issue.

looks like your app folder doesn’t have go+x permission

your ‘app’ folder is not accessible because it doesn’t have x flag for group and other users.

try: chmod go+x app
