Cannot upload photos

aacircle · January 22nd, 2006, 08:17 AM

Hello,

I've just installed photopost for the first time and am very eager to get it working. Only prob is I cannot upload photos. As soon as I click upload/submit I get the following error:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(/home/httpd/html/mydomain/forums/gallery/uploads/1/photo1.JPG): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /gallery/image-inc.php on line 37

Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move '/tmp/phpXTfSMS' to '/home/httpd/html/mydomain/forums/gallery/uploads/1/photo1.JPG' in /gallery/image-inc.php on line 37

What permissions should the uploads directory be? I've tried setting it to 777, but the same prob occured.

Thanks in anticipation.

Hello the uploads and data directories need to be 777 as well as all there child directories.

Your issue is that the uploads/1 directory is not 777

Thanks Chuck! Now working. Sorry to waste your time. Just so others can see, the correct permissions are pasted below:

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)

How do I set directory premissions if I am on a windows server?

For example
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 have the ability to connect remotely to my dedicated server via windows remote desktop.

You need to set the gallery directory to READ WRITE and then uploads and data to READ WRITE EXECUTE

NemoTech · April 2nd, 2006, 02:55 PM

Got it. Set premissions. Still not working...

Now I am working out this last problem

Okay I have no errors in adm-index.php. But still am unable to upload.

On my last installation error I get this error
Warning: fopen(C:/Inetpub/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/photopost/config-int.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in C:\Inetpub\vhosts\mydomain.com\httpdocs\photopost\install.php on line 1652

Looks like i needed to allow users in the admin.

Chuck S · April 2nd, 2006, 04:13 PM

Allow users into the admin no way you do not do that.

The error above tells me you have not set the gallery directory to writable.

You need to set permissions as stated above.

If you can not upload after you get things installed right then you would need to post your error but as you found that other thread you can see common issues with permissions and it is easier to use GD2 if you have it.

NemoTech · April 2nd, 2006, 04:33 PM

GD2 did the trick.

Oh I meant I have to give users permission from the admin to upload pictures.

Chuck S · April 2nd, 2006, 05:15 PM

Yes you need to set permissions after an install accordingly

My Photopost has been working fine until today.
My server has just given me this notice "If you have a script that is not executing, please ensure the permission on the file is set to CHMOD 755. Scripts or folders that are chmodded to 777 will no longer work due to security risks involved with 777 settings. Setting 755 is equivalentto 777 in the new environment."

As far as I can tell all my permissions are correct but I'm getting this message "Warning: move_uploaded_file(/home/liddyslo/public_html/Photopost/uploads/2/liddyinsand.jpg): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/liddyslo/public_html/Photopost/image-inc.php on line 37

Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move '/tmp/phpbDWqDZ' to '/home/liddyslo/public_html/Photopost/uploads/2/liddyinsand.jpg' in /home/liddyslo/public_html/Photopost/image-inc.php on line 37"

Can anyone help? I'm very new to PHP and all.

I also have an issue with thumbnails not showing up in Members Galleries alone. I don't know if this is related.
My site is http://www.liddysloft.com/Photopost

I changed all my 777's to 755 when I discovered that my host did not run php as an Apache module (ie it runs as a cgi) and was not happy with anyone having 777 folders in their sites. Photopost works fine this way for me. There were an awful lot of folders to change though! (ie hundreds). Are you sure you got them alll? (it is easier to do it with a script if you know how).

BryanG · July 25th, 2006, 12:48 PM

chmod -R <number> <directory>

-R is for recursive mode, so it will change all directories and all files in the <directory> you specify.

<number> would be the permission you would want to change it to (ie. 777, 755, etc.)

janeausten72 · July 25th, 2006, 03:26 PM

Okay, I've checked each and every folder and file under data and uploads and I'm still getting the same message. Am I missing something?

Warning: move_uploaded_file(/home/liddyslo/public_html/Photopost/uploads/2/liddyinsand.jpg): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/liddyslo/public_html/Photopost/image-inc.php on line 37

pistebasher · July 25th, 2006, 04:15 PM

Re your post above, I can see thumbnails in some parts of your member galleries but not others. Is that what you mean? Have you tried rebuilding the thumbnails?

janeausten72 · July 25th, 2006, 04:32 PM

Okay, I've tried rebuilding before to no avail, but TODAY it is working and I now have thumbnails. Thank you! Thank you!

Any ideas about the upload problem?

Chuck S · July 25th, 2006, 05:57 PM

We require permissions to be 777 on the uploads and data directories to allow successful file uploads. You might want to inquire with your new host setup if they allow 755 permissions to act like 777 so PHP commands like move_uploaded_file will work.

pistebasher · July 26th, 2006, 07:43 AM

My host is site5 and 755 permissions definitely work for me.

Chuck S · July 26th, 2006, 09:05 AM

Pistebasher yes your host has it setup correctly to allow file uploads on 755 evidently this host does not.
