XF 1.5 Server errors when uploading an image

[tommydamic68]

Hello,

I'm getting this error when trying to upload an image, any ideas?

Looks like incorrect permissions on your internal_data/ directory (and sub directories !!) ? Web server has write access, but not read access.

Well, yesterday I messed with settings on my server, updated PHP versions 5.5 t0 5.6 and it screwed up my site, my host was able to reverse it and fix it. But suddenly I couldn't upload images as seen above, so here is what they said after investigating and getting the upload feature to work again, I just hope its not permissions that shouldn't be able to access.

"I am not sure if the problem was because of PHP version change. I just changed the permission of the folders internal_data/ and data/ to 777 and tried upload and it worked."

Just checked ACP and had this server error now.

All the directories permissions are set to 0644. I'm not sure they should be set to o777. Would that make sense to change just one permission, the one throwing the error. Its thrown the error 4 times now. the internal_data is set to o777.

And, I just noticed when you upload an image from an iPhone its sideways.

It depends specifically on your server config and the exact owner of the file. Given that you're getting errors, you will likely need to go 0777 (at least for any existing files). There may be an alternative approach, but it's certainly more advanced and requires specific knowledge of the owner of those files and the user PHP is running as.

Your server is likely missing support for PHP EXIF functions. Your host/sysadmin can likely rectify that.

Well I changed just this file to 0777 - we will see if it stops throwing the server error. I guess it cant harm anything? Hackers or anything of the likes? Access to templates and so on?
