I installed redmine 2.6.6.stable in a centos 7 vm (kernel 3.10.0-229.7.2.el7.x86_64). So far it's fine, but I'm currently unable to upload files. Googling around I found out that the Passenger writes these files (https://www.redmine.org/issues/8817), and it's probably without the correct write permissions. But I tried to fix it for the last 2 hours, with no success.
Apache's error_log when I try to upload something:
App 3419 stderr: Errno::EACCES (Permission denied - /var/www/html/vhosts/redmine/files/2015/08/150811151550_icon.png):
App 3419 stderr: app/models/attachment.rb:108:in `initialize'
App 3419 stderr: app/models/attachment.rb:108:in `open'
App 3419 stderr: app/models/attachment.rb:108:in `files_to_final_location'
App 3419 stderr: app/controllers/attachments_controller.rb:88:in `upload'
These are the current permissions for my redmine directory:
[root@server ~]# ls -l /var/www/html/vhosts/redmine/

I tried to change the user that passenger runs, but had no success. Apparently it has some trouble in centos 7, and this server also runs a gitlab instance, so I quit trying to change it and tryed chmoding and chowning my files directory. My passenger conf:
[root@server ~]# cat /etc/httpd/conf.d/passenger.conf
LoadModule passenger_module /usr/local/share/gems/gems/passenger-5.0.14/buildout/apache2/mod_passenger.so
<IfModule mod_passenger.c>
PassengerRoot /usr/local/share/gems/gems/passenger-5.0.14
PassengerDefaultRuby /usr/bin/ruby
PassengerUser apache
</IfModule>
No matter how I try to change the PassengerUser (also tried PassengerDefaultUser a few times) parameter, I get the "nobody" user to run it:
[root@server ~]# ps aux | grep Passenger
root 2785 0.0 0.2 430108 4604 ? Ssl 15:09 0:00 Passenger watchdog
root 2789 0.0 0.3 645040 6348 ? Sl 15:09 0:00 Passenger core

You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root
Did somebody get the same issue? How can I troubleshoot it?

I will try changing SELinux right now. Be right back
