Yet another bug Forbidden You don't have permission to access....

[Mikan]

Ok, I don't believe that this is happening - I would like to say a couple of bad words about ReviewPost (yet another bug that I have encountered - I just how to wonder how many there still are) but I think it's the best to take a deep breath....

Ok, what happened - originally I had set the picture/thumbnail size to 300 pixels. Now I decided that I should lower that so I set that to 250 and then saved. Everything ok so far - then I went to Scan database and checked the rebuild thumbnails" option and clicked proceed - > everything okagain.

Then I went back to see the results ->

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /arviot on this server.

The whole program doens't work anymore. I can't access any of the pages....

Ups - this went to wrong forum - it should be of course ReviewPost Bugs

[Mikan]

Ok, found the reason - for some reason when I ran that rebuild thumbnails ReviewPost set the RP root folder (like /reviews .... ) access rights to:
drw-rw-rw-

No wonder apache didn't grant access to that directory.

[Mikan]

This is even better... That.... crawled thorugh my web server root directory and changed access rights of certain directories to

drwx---rwx

and then some of the files under those directories have 777 permissions.

Sounds to me like server permissions dropping

[Mikan]

Umm.. can you give me more details because for some reason it seems that instead of going through /reviews/data... it went thought / and then changed some of the directories like /templates etc...

What I said is it sounds to me like a server problem not one of our software.

If you set the directory and file permissions per the installation instructions and your server later on drops them than it would be a server issue and you might want to contact your host. There is nothing in our software that would do it
