XF 1.4 Issues with broken avatar etc...

[Tower]

Hey guys,
I figured Id ask here as well, numerous things have broken on my site after applying the newest fix. I have not changed anything on the server side.

Looks like permission errors:

Hello Chris,
I have applied 777, like I said, I received this error after the update. I did not have any issues prior to this update.

Did you see my ticket response?

It could be an .htaccess file issue, or possibly server config.

@Brogan you were right, there was a "deny all" in the data folder.
Now I am trying to get the furls to work again.

That is the current error I am getting.

Corrected it changing "RewriteBase /" corrected that

Out of interest, how did the .htaccess file with deny all get placed in the /data directory?

 

[DaniD]

I'm having this issue myself, and I see the same .htaccess file. I'll see if the suggested changes help - and it did. Thanks!

@Brogan I have no idea sir, I did not touch anything but upgrade to the newest version. Then of course the backup I had failed, and was corrupted. Thinking something else was wrong I lost a days worth of data, I now have moved to a different host that I orginally had that was more reliable in the first place. I am new to apache with a reverse proxy for nginx. Normally I use just nginx, so this is new to me. What a mess!
