Hi,

first of all thanks for providing Piwigo!

I attempted the manual installation by following the outlined steps here. However, there is no mentioning of what files or folders need to be writable. So whenever I want to conclude the installation all I receive is an empty response.

Only difference was that I downloaded release 2.8.1 here from Github.

Could you give some pointers, as it's normally considered bad practice to make just everything writable.

Actually I think this issue is relevant on Github, because it is directly related to Github downloadable version of Piwigo. If @assarbad had downloaded Piwigo from Piwigo.org, he won't have encountered the same problem: during release build, the permissions are modified, see https://github.com/Piwigo/Piwigo/blob/master/tools/pwg_rel_create.sh#L112

In the repository README we should add a section "install from Github"

Indeed from Github that's different, at least for Linux users

@plegall: a link to that script inside the README might help as well. Thanks for the pointer, that helps me a lot!
