image-inc.php Error

[Fortissimo]

We upgraded on 10/8. There were no issues until today.

When you try to upload you get the following error:

Warning: copy(/home/site/public_html/gallery/data/502/thumbs/061806_02.jpg): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/site/public_html/gallery/image-inc.php on line 302

Error creating thumbnail! Error code: 1

So I start looking around and see that everything needs to be set at 777 in the data area.

I go look and many of the folders are set to 755 (I'm using Smart FtP by the way)

Question #1: Yesterday it was working fine, today it's not. What would have caused it to stop working overnight? I didn't change chmods

So.. I go in and look at data/500. First I try to chmod it to 777.. trying to apply to folders, subdirectories and files. I get the following error:

[14:33:04] 550 Could not change perms on 0012.jpg: Bad file descriptor

I start looking around... and notice that I can't visually see the data/500/mini, medium or thumbs folder. I try to view via shell and can find them, but I don't know how to really use shell to chmod...

I chmod as many directories as I can 777. I get a lot of Bad file descriptors though.

I'm at a loss. Do you have any ideas of what I can do at this point?

You might need to ask your host to change the permissions if you can not they all need to be 777 at every level down in the data directory.

Had hosting company 777 everything. It's all working now. Thanks Chuck.
