What this is saying is that allocPSA needs to fill out the alloc_config.php configuration file, with the values you've specified during installation. The only way that it can do this is if you create the file, then assign it the necessary permissios.
You should open a terminal on your web-server host which you've installed allocPSA on, then type (or copy/paste) each of the commands, as presented:
If this last one generates an error, it may be because your system does not have an 'apache' user. If you're using something like Ubuntu, it may be called 'www-data' instead. So, try something like:
Share hosting/ OS Linux.
All going well except the last step--not sure what to do? Please help. Error below.
Config File alloc_config.php Please create an empty, webserver-writeable file:
touch /home/ihssan/public_html/biz/allocPSA-1.5.1.1/alloc_config.php
chmod 600 /home/ihssan/public_html/biz/allocPSA-1.5.1.1/alloc_config.php
chown apache /home/ihssan/public_html/biz/allocPSA-1.5.1.1/alloc_config.php Bad

chown www-data /home/ihssan/public_html/biz/allocPSA-1.5.1.1/alloc_config.php
If it's not www-data, take a look at a long directory listing inside the allocPSA directory:
ls -l home/ihssan/public_html/biz/allocPSA-1.5.1.1/
and see if you can spot the name of the group which owns your web-server process.
Yes providing chown permissions to www-data in ubuntu resolved the problems thanks.
Not a problem. Glad that it worked out.
What if we can't open a terminal with our webhost?
you could create the alloc_config.php file locally and ftp it up.
Has this resolved your issue?
