Permission problems

Hi,
I just reinstalled a fresh version PP Pro. Everything seemed to set up properly. I just went to do a test upload and got the following error: This is the exact error...

Warning: move_uploaded_file(/usr/local/apache/htdocs/photopost/uploads/1/afb.jpg): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/photopost/image-inc.php on line 48

Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move '/var/tmp/phplGFjkr' to '/usr/local/apache/htdocs/photopost/uploads/1/afb.jpg' in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/photopost/image-inc.php on line 48

Permissions for image_inc.php are set to 644 Im not a permissions expert to say the least or even know much about them. In the installation guide, I followed all the permission settings for these:
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)

then it says: Be sure to FTP all .php and .sql files into the photopost directory. All permissions for .php and .sql files should be set to chmod 644.

Now. I checked all the permissions against the old installation and they are identical for every file. What I noticed though, for some reason, in this install V562 there is a folder called untitled folder in the extracted download from the PP site. And in the last instal (earlier version)(done by PP people as a pay for install) there is a file called showframe.php which I do not have in this new install.

Any thoughts?

just tried again and got a similar error but some wierd characters highloghted in red

Warning: move_uploaded_file(/usr/local/apache/htdocs/photopost/uploads/1/afb.jpg): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/photopost/image-inc.php on line 48

Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move '/var/tmp/phpmWiPUu' to '/usr/local/apache/htdocs/photopost/uploads/1/afb.jpg' in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/photopost/image-inc.php on line 48

I am thinking I may have something very wrong when I installed. Not sure but I think I have a path wrong, although, I did not change anything.

Help!

Thanks

Set your uploads directory at every level to 777

Geez Chuck, I thought I did that. Obvioulsy not. What was interesting was when I went in to change those permissions, I saw the upload already in there. Permissions are now changed and now I get this error:

Error creating thumbnail! Error code: 1

Command:

"/usr/local/bin/mogrify" +profile "*" -size 100x100 -quality 70 -geometry 100x100 -unsharp 10 '/usr/local/apache/htdocs/photopost/data/500/thumbs/test.jpg'

I just double checked and all the permissions in the Data folder including all sub directories and files are 777

Okay you have a real old imagemagick. You can set your image processor to GD2 and see if uploads work if thats the case edit image-inc.php and remove this twice in that file and then see if imagemagick works

Code:

is the magemagick something I should have my server people update?

Usually unless you have root SSH access

Which I do, but, they get paid for stuff like this. Ill have them update it (if it can be), Ill try it again, if it doesnt work, Ill remove the two lines of code in your previous post.

What suprises me is that the server configuration is exactly the same as it was in August when you did the pay for install on one of my other sites. Nothing different so why it worked then, and not now, not sure, unless back then, you had to remove that code as well.

Ill respond with results later this morning

Thanks!!

Updated Imagemagick to this version ImageMagick-6.2.9 Tried again, got this error:
Error creating thumbnail! Error code: 139
Command:
"/usr/local/bin/mogrify" +profile "*" -size 100x100 -quality 70 -geometry 100x100 -unsharp 10 '/usr/local/apache/htdocs/photopost/data/500/thumbs/image.jpg

Switched the image processor to GD2 and the upload went fine.

Chuck, opened the file below image_inc.php and could not find the code you posted. Even did a search through the code for just the first word and it turned up no results.

So, should I assume, I am good to go with GD2?

Thanks

Chuck S · January 11th, 2007, 12:06 PM

profile statement is definately in there twice in image-inc.php

I have never heard of a 139 imagemagick error but if GD2 works fine your issue is with the imagemagick install on the server and not Photopost.

Did you follow the Imagemagick compile instructions here on our site under the support link in the header?

flytier101 · January 11th, 2007, 03:32 PM

Chuck, Found the profile lines. Had one seeting in my search incorrect.
I forwarded this info to my support team. They deinstalled and reinstalled after i think they said, adding or compiling the libraries.

I wont mess with this any longer. Its just odd that an install you did a few months ago worked no prob, the server settings were the same and not working now, although, your install still works.

Anyway, since its working with GD2, I suspect I dont need to do anything with Imagemagick and will just use GD2.

If I still need to do something with imagemagick even if I am using GD2, please le me I will move this off here to a adv. install service, if it is totally necessary.

thanks again \

Nah GD2 should be fine. If your host updated there servers they probally broke imagemagick
