XF 1.4 Problem uploading attachments

[kaloksi]

Hi,

Since we moved to a VPS server we have been unable to upload files.

We get message:

copy(/home/borealis/public_html/internal_data/attachments/0/335-1b9945d046299eefb5d87f56a7b4b435.data): failed to open stream: Permission denied

I have set 0777 to public_html//internal_data and public_html/data and all its sub folders.

The files under /home/borealis/public_html/internal_data/attachments/0/ are set to 0644

What else is missing to make this work?

Thanks.

This are my php configuration settings as well

If you are sure that the directories have been recursively chmod to 0777, also check ownership (chown).

 

[kaloksi]

what values should chown have?

 

[Paul B]

Chown them back to your user, if they aren't already.

 

[kaloksi]

user should be root is that it?

 

[kaloksi]

All help would be appreciated as I will have to explain hosting company what needs to be done. Thanks

Host changed again recursively to 0777 folders

/home/borealis/public_html/internal_data/
/home/borealis/public_html/data/

The attachments now work. The thing is that all files are also now at 0777 as they did

chmod 0777 -R internal_data/

chmod 0777 -R data/



Should they be like that or the files as 0644 leaving just folders to 0777?

 

[Paul B]

It was likely just the directory (0) under the parent directory which needed to be 0777.

It won't hurt but you can chmod the files back if you wish.
