I'd like to install Tiny Tiny RSS on my Raspberry Pi running Arch. I already installed Lighttpd, PHP, MariaDB and tt-rss and configured tt-rss.
My config.php looks like this:
<?php
// *******************************************
// *** Database configuration (important!) ***
// *******************************************
define('DB_TYPE', 'mysql');
define('DB_HOST', '');
define('DB_USER', 'ttrss');
define('DB_NAME', 'ttrss');
define('DB_PASS', 'MYSECRETPW');
define('DB_PORT', '');
define('MYSQL_CHARSET', 'UTF8');
// Connection charset for MySQL. If you have a legacy database and/or experience
// garbage unicode characters with this option, try setting it to a blank string.
// ***********************************
// *** Basic settings (important!) ***
// ***********************************
define('SELF_URL_PATH', 'http://192.168.1.7/tt-rss/');
// Full URL of your tt-rss installation. This should be set to the
// location of tt-rss directory, e.g. http://example.org/tt-rss/
// You need to set this option correctly otherwise several features
// including PUSH, bookmarklets and browser integration will not work properly.
define('FEED_CRYPT_KEY', '');
// Key used for encryption of passwords for password-protected feeds
// in the database. A string of 24 random characters. If left blank, encryption
// is not used. Requires mcrypt functions.
// Warning: changing this key will make your stored feed passwords impossible
// to decrypt.
define('SINGLE_USER_MODE', false);
// Operate in single user mode, disables all functionality related to
// multiple users and authentication. Enabling this assumes you have
// your tt-rss directory protected by other means (e.g. http auth).
define('SIMPLE_UPDATE_MODE', false);
// Enables fallback update mode where tt-rss tries to update feeds in
// background while tt-rss is open in your browser.
// If you don't have a lot of feeds and don't want to or can't run
// background processes while not running tt-rss, this method is generally
// viable to keep your feeds up to date.
// Still, there are more robust (and recommended) updating methods
// available, you can read about them here: http://tt-rss.org/wiki/UpdatingFeeds
// *****************************
// *** Files and directories ***
// *****************************
define('PHP_EXECUTABLE', '/usr/bin/php');
// Path to PHP *COMMAND LINE* executable, used for various command-line tt-rss
// programs and update daemon. Do not try to use CGI binary here, it won't work.
// If you see HTTP headers being displayed while running tt-rss scripts,
// then most probably you are using the CGI binary. If you are unsure what to
// put in here, ask your hosting provider.
define('LOCK_DIRECTORY', 'lock');
// Directory for lockfiles, must be writable to the user you run
// daemon process or cronjobs under.
define('CACHE_DIR', 'cache');
// Local cache directory for RSS feed content.
define('ICONS_DIR', "feed-icons");
define('ICONS_URL', "feed-icons");
// Local and URL path to the directory, where feed favicons are stored.
// Unless you really know what you're doing, please keep those relative
// to tt-rss main directory.
// **********************
// *** Authentication ***
// **********************
// Please see PLUGINS below to configure various authentication modules.
define('AUTH_AUTO_CREATE', true);
// Allow authentication modules to auto-create users in tt-rss internal
// database when authenticated successfully.
define('AUTH_AUTO_LOGIN', true);
// Automatically login user on remote or other kind of externally supplied
// authentication, otherwise redirect to login form as normal.
// If set to true, users won't be able to set application language
// and settings profile.
// *********************
// *** Feed settings ***
// *********************
define('FORCE_ARTICLE_PURGE', 0);
// When this option is not 0, users ability to control feed purging
// intervals is disabled and all articles (which are not starred)
// older than this amount of days are purged.
// *** PubSubHubbub settings ***
define('PUBSUBHUBBUB_HUB', '');
// URL to a PubSubHubbub-compatible hub server. If defined, "Published
// articles" generated feed would automatically become PUSH-enabled.
define('PUBSUBHUBBUB_ENABLED', false);
// Enable client PubSubHubbub support in tt-rss. When disabled, tt-rss
// won't try to subscribe to PUSH feed updates.
// *********************
// *** Sphinx search ***
// *********************
define('SPHINX_ENABLED', false);
// Enable fulltext search using Sphinx (http://www.sphinxsearch.com)
// Please see http://tt-rss.org/wiki/SphinxSearch for more information.
define('SPHINX_SERVER', 'localhost:9312');
// Hostname:port combination for the Sphinx server.
define('SPHINX_INDEX', 'ttrss, delta');
// Index name in Sphinx configuration. You can specify multiple indexes
// as a comma-separated string.
// Example configuration files are available on tt-rss wiki.
// ***********************************
// *** Self-registrations by users ***
// ***********************************
define('ENABLE_REGISTRATION', false);
// Allow users to register themselves. Please be aware that allowing
// random people to access your tt-rss installation is a security risk
// and potentially might lead to data loss or server exploit. Disabled
// by default.
define('REG_NOTIFY_ADDRESS', 'user@your.domain.dom');
// Email address to send new user notifications to.
define('REG_MAX_USERS', 10);
// Maximum amount of users which will be allowed to register on this
// system. 0 - no limit.
// **********************************
// *** Cookies and login sessions ***
// **********************************
define('SESSION_COOKIE_LIFETIME', 86400);
// Default lifetime of a session (e.g. login) cookie. In seconds,
// 0 means cookie will be deleted when browser closes.
define('SESSION_CHECK_ADDRESS', 1);
// Check client IP address when validating session:
// 0 - disable checking
// 1 - check first 3 octets of an address (recommended)
// 2 - check first 2 octets of an address
// 3 - check entire address
// *********************************
// *** Email and digest settings ***
// *********************************
define('SMTP_FROM_NAME', 'Tiny Tiny RSS');
define('SMTP_FROM_ADDRESS', 'noreply@your.domain.dom');
// Name, address and subject for sending outgoing mail. This applies
// to password reset notifications, digest emails and any other mail.
define('DIGEST_SUBJECT', '[tt-rss] New headlines for last 24 hours');
// Subject line for email digests
define('SMTP_SERVER', '');
// Hostname:port combination to send outgoing mail (i.e. localhost:25).
// Blank - use system MTA.
define('SMTP_LOGIN', '');
define('SMTP_PASSWORD', '');
// These two options enable SMTP authentication when sending
// outgoing mail. Only used with SMTP_SERVER.
define('SMTP_SECURE', '');
// Used to select a secure SMTP connection. Allowed values: ssl, tls,
// or empty.
// ***************************************
// *** Other settings (less important) ***
// ***************************************
define('CHECK_FOR_NEW_VERSION', true);
// Check for new versions of tt-rss automatically.
define('DETECT_ARTICLE_LANGUAGE', true);
// Detect article language when updating feeds, presently this is only
// used for hyphenation. This may increase amount of CPU time used by
// update processes, disable if necessary (i.e. you are being billed
// for CPU time).
define('ENABLE_GZIP_OUTPUT', false);
// Selectively gzip output to improve wire performance. This requires
// PHP Zlib extension on the server.
// Enabling this can break tt-rss in several httpd/php configurations,
// if you experience weird errors and tt-rss failing to start, blank pages
// after login, or content encoding errors, disable it.
define('PLUGINS', 'auth_internal, note, updater');
// Comma-separated list of plugins to load automatically for all users.
// System plugins have to be specified here. Please enable at least one
// authentication plugin here (auth_*).
// Users may enable other user plugins from Preferences/Plugins but may not
// disable plugins specified in this list.
// Disabling auth_internal in this list would automatically disable
// reset password link on the login form.
define('LOG_DESTINATION', 'sql');
// Log destination to use. Possible values: sql (uses internal logging
// you can read in Preferences -> System), syslog - logs to system log.
// Setting this to blank uses PHP logging (usually to http server
// error.log).
define('CONFIG_VERSION', 26);
// Expected config version. Please update this option in config.php
// if necessary (after migrating all new options from this file).
// vim:ft=php
After setting the config.php I modified the permissions of different files:
chmod -R 777 cache/upload && chmod -R 777 cache/images && chmod -R 777 cache/export && chmod -R 777 cache/js && chmod -R 777 feed-icons && chmod -R 777 lock

Still, when I try to open http://192.168.1.7/tt-rss/ tt-rss tells me that it wasn't able to start properly because the file permissions for cache/images, cache/upload, cache/export, chmod -R 777 cache/js, feed-icons and lock need to be set to chmod -R 777. But that's what I already did. Any advice?

Hi mamr,
I don't use Tiny Tiny RSS on my archlinux machine, but on a server that runs Debian. The only thing I had to do there was this:
cd /var/www/mysite/
chown -R www-data:www-data ttrss/
"www-data" is the user that is used to run the web server (apache2).

Thanks for your help. I didn't have much time to fiddle around so I installed Debian and got ttrss to work with it. Thanks though!

Since the whole thing is running on a Raspberry Pi, I tried Arch again today. (Hope to get more speed out of the system and I like Arch more than Debian for this hobby project.)
Now I have a different problem. I symlinked like I was told in the wiki:
ln -s /usr/share/webapps/tt-rss /srv/http/tt-rss
I can point my browser to the installer on http://localhost/tt-rss/install/ and do the steps over there. I created /etc/webapps/tt-rss/config.php and inserted the text created by the installer. I saved config.php and tried to point my browser to http://localhost/tt-rss/. I should be able to log in by now but this doesn't work. I always get thrown back to http://localhost/tt-rss/install/ although I explicitly try to go to http://localhost/tt-rss/.
The config.php seems to be readable by the user http (which seems to be running lighttpd). ls -l /etc/webbapps/tt-rss/ tells me
-rw-r--r--
for /etc/webapps/config.php.
What made me suspicous is that there is no config.php in /srv/http/tt-rss/. Is this a problem? I don't get where the config.php has to be stored. The wiki tells me to store it in /etc/webapps/tt-rss/. But tt-rss doesn't seem to recognize the config.php.

The informations in the Wiki are not up to date. Especially this:
tt-rss requires that the value of open_basedir is "none".
I ran ttrss for some time manually, till I discovered recently that it's in the repos. So I switched to the Arch-Package. You just need to install it, setup the database and - that' what took me some time to figure out - edit php.ini because of missing permissions. The following lines are working for me, but there might be security issues - or better ways to get it working!:
/etc/php/php.ini
include_path = ".:/usr/share/pear:/etc/webapps/tt-rss"
...
open_basedir = /srv/http/:/home/:/tmp/:/usr/share/pear/:/usr/share/webapps/:/etc/webapps/:/var/lib/tt-rss
and uncomment the following (if you didn't do that already):
extension=curl.so
extension=iconv.so
extension=mysql.so
extension=posix.so
extension=soap.so
Hopefully, this puts you in the right direction.

Thanks for your help! It does work now. Since this is a device intended for testing, security is not an issue for me.
