how do I get rid of this error

[flytier101]

When trying to upload a vid through the admin, I am getting the following php error and then the last error which seems to be a PP error. "x's" are in replace of the vhosted acct name and URL. Permissions are set to 777. Have not been able to test this on a non admin registered user (one I set up) because for the life of me, when I log in as a registered (non admin) user, I can not get the upload link to show anywhere!

Hello did you set 777 permissions EVERY LEVEL DOWN meaning directory 1 is 777?

All your data and uploads directories must be 777 and safe mode must be off in php

[flytier101]

777 is set all the way through and throughout each sub foolder. I doublechecked all the permissions in the uploads directory

[Chuck S]

Have you verified your server's php has safe mode set to OFF?

[flytier101]

Hi Chuck,
Yes, I have made that verification,

safe_mode Off Off
safe_mode_exec_dir no value no value
safe_mode_gid Off Off

I have a feeling there is another permission setting that is incorrect although I do NOT know how to find that. All the permissions in the docs are set properly as specified but I also am getting a permission denied error when trying to change a stylesheet. I have that set correctly to 777 but still getting this error

Warning: fopen(/home/username/www/url/photopost/stylesheets/default.css): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/username/www/url/photopost/adm-misc.php on line 3789

Unable to write changes, permissions on default.css are not set properly.

Again, these permissions are set to 777 so there must be something not set correctly. I am guessing this is some sort of global permission setting and one probably has to do with the initial post here. Any thoughts or ideas? im going nuts trying to find this.

[Chuck S]

The permissions on your stylesheets are not 666 if they can not be written to.

Also check to ensure your path to photopost is correct in the config it looks to be but something to check

If safe mode is not on and permissions are set correct you should be able to upload or edit stylesheets etc.

Now keep in mind with video uploads that your not going to be able to upload anything larger than 2mb without altering PHP

[flytier101]

Permissions on the stylesheet is 777 I am not understanding your first comment about not being 666 if they......

Path appears from what I have checked to be correct

Safe mode is off

PHP is set away from the default of 2mb to 100mb

Uploads is 777
subfolder 1 is 755


admin-misc is 644

[Chuck S]

as stated in my previous message about permissions uploads and data directories at every level need to be 777

your stylesheets themselves have to be set to 666

understood...When setting initial permissions per the documentation, data directories at every level need to be 777, which they are and have been.
Uploads directory should be 777 which it is, but I didnt realize there where 5 levels under that of which only sub folder 1 has permissions that can be set. That is now set at 777 from 755 - I will check the uploads in a bit and report back but now for the second part:

I set them to 777 as the initial documentation stated.

photopost
images (chmod 755)
uploads (chmod 777)
help (chmod 755)
data (chmod 777)
1 (chmod 777 - including subdirectories)
2 (chmod 777 - including subdirectories)
500 (chmod 777 - including subdirectories)
languages (chmod 755) (a
stylesheets (chmod 777)
templates (chmod 777)
forums (chmod 755)

I just changed them to what you said above, 666 and I get the following error when I open the main page, before even trying to login under admin or a user.


Warning: is_dir(): Stat failed for /home/user/www/domain_name.com/photopost/stylesheets/default (errno=13 - Permission denied) in /home/user/www/domain_name.com/photopost/pp-inc.php on line 256

[Chuck S]

No not the directory. The stylesheets need to be set 666 themselves the css files to be writable.

[flytier101]

OK, so I completely misunderstood that. I dont know what I was thinking.

Anyway, that now works but the uploads are still erroring out.

I suspect somewhere within, a permission is incorrect. Is every single folder and contents of each one, individually supposed to be set to 777? Including the index files found within the data and uploads folders and sub folders?

[Chuck S]

Yes you posted above your number one directory was 755 and I posted it must be 777

[flytier101]

Thanks Chuck--I did change that and still didn't work. Within that #1 directory is an index.html it is at 644 Should all those index.html or .htm files within both the data and uploads folders be 777

[Chuck S]

Post your site url here an index file would not have anything to do with things. Either safe mode is on on your site or your permissions are not set right. move_uploaded_file error is pretty specific

[flytier101]

better idea... with all the time I am wasting trying to figure this out myself, I am better off having you install properly with the proper permissions, etc...
Ill send an install order over.
