NOTE: This ONLY applies to Amahi 6 (Ubuntu 12.04.x).

While manually creating a web app via the dashboard, you receive a "HTTP error 500" message. If this occurs, the work around below should correct the issue (Amahi bug 977).

Change the permissions of the /var/hda/web-apps folder to 777:

sudo chmod 777 /var/hda/web-apps

Next create the web app. The ownership of the new folder will be something like nobody:nogroup. Change it to your first admin user:

sudo chown -R firstadminuser:users /var/hda/web-apps/appname

Once you do that, it should work fine.
