Saving templates permission denied

[Michael]

Hey everyone,

I keep getting permission denied when saving templates, the data and internal data folders are set to 777 including their subdirectories. Is this correct? What should the .data file permissions be as well as everything else under these two folders? 644?

Thank you

You only need to CHMOD data and internal_date folders, not the subdirectories I believe.

Thank you, what should the subdirectories and files be?

It must be recursive but regardless, templates aren't saved to those directories unless you have caching implemented.

It that recursive 777 on directories? I do have caching implemented and when saving a template/phrase I get the permission denied error.

Check the internal_data/templates directory permissions.

Just checked there and that directory is 777 and when I save a template it gives the error:

file_put_contents(/public_html/internal_data/templates/S.10,L.1,account_personal_details.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied

I'm not a server person but perhaps it's an ownership issue.
You may need to check that too.

Thanks Brogan, it does seem to be an issue with that.

recursive

^this^

If you have shell access then try running these commands to recursively set permissions in those directories:

chmod -R 777 data

chmod -R 777 internal_data

You might also try 755 permissions. Depending on how PHP is installed, 755 may still be writable. I have seen some server configurations throw errors with 777.

Thanks Jake, I was unsure if the files were meant to be 777 too but it seems they are, all works well now
