Media File Permissions & Errors

1 Oct 13, 2006 15:15    

I can't upload images to a directory I created using an ftp program rather than b2'd file manager. I cannot track down how to fix the problem.

Outside b2's file manager, I created an additional directory to hold image files. The permissions on the new directory are identical to those on the other media subdirectories. But, when I try to upload an image to the new directory, I get these errors:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(/home/rockyhil/public_html/Blogs/media/blogs/hillside/Oct06/taxi.jpg): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/rockyhil/public_html/Blogs/inc/CONTROL/files/files.php on line 1037

Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move '/tmp/phpXXQTD4' to '/home/rockyhil/public_html/Blogs/media/blogs/hillside/Oct06/taxi.jpg' in /home/rockyhil/public_html/Blogs/inc/CONTROL/files/files.php on line 1037

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/rockyhil/public_html/Blogs/inc/CONTROL/files/files.php:1037) in /home/rockyhil/public_html/Blogs/inc/VIEW/_menutop.php on line 38

Usually, I can find my way through the code, but I need help here. I just cannot figure out what is going on and therefore can't fix it.

What are the permissions of "Oct06"? If they are e.g. 755, then your FTP user can write, but the PHP-user (which may be different) cannot.

Thanks blueyed!

I can make it work by changing the permissions from 775 to 777 BUT here's the weird thing - it works fine with another subdirectory (at the same level - Sept06) where the permissions are set at 755.

I don't really want to leave the permissions on any directory at 777, particularly when I don't understand what's going on.
