Permissions
Just in case, it's good to make sure that the Apache web server is able to read all the files in the directory where you have installed SVOCat.
In a typical linux installation of Apache, this means that you make all the files and folders readable by the www-data user and all the folders "executable" by that user. For instance, you can do:
> cd /var/www/catalogues/exfilters/
> sudo chmod -R ugo+r .
> sudo chmod ugo+x `find . -type d`
IMPORTANT! There are two special directories:
config/ and work/. Both directories must be writable by the web server. Change their permisions as needed so that it is allowed.
In a typical linux installation of Apache, this means that you, at least, make them (and their contents) owned by the www-data group and make them writable by that users in that group. For instance:
> cd /var/www/catalogues/exfilters/
> sudo chown -R carlos:www-data config/ work/
> sudo chmod g+rwx config/ work/
> sudo chmod -R g+rw config/ work/
The point is that when you configure the application with the properties of your catalogue, the files in config/ and work/ will be changed to save the new properties. And in order to be able to do that the web server must be able to write on them. If you are not able to do this, please contact your server administrator.
In general, it is a good idea to make everything owned by your user and the apache (www-data) group. At the end, if you take a look to the output of ls -la commands, you should see something similar to this:
> ls -la

In particular, permissions for config/ and work/ should be similar to what is shown for config/. And permissions for other subfolders should be similar to those shown for admin/.
