Users unable to uplaod images - File manager permissions?

Hi there,

Just started playing with Simple:Press fantastic, however I am seeing the issue with the upload also, it fails to create the directory structure and therefore can't upload, within the settings SP is happy that the directory is writeable (set as 777 for testing) however will not create this, if you create the structure manually no problems, everything works as expected, this is a brand new install.

Any thoughts?

To be perfectly honest I tend to suggest that it might be quicker and more informative to ask your host support if they can spot any reason why the folders can not be created. Most of the reasons I have come across usually seem to stem from 'hosting' based permissions.

Unless anyone else has any pointers of course…

Hi there,

Thanks for this, this is actually a centos system i've built as a testing platform, am actually a system admin (although not unix expert) will have a look more at the php logs tomorrow to see if I can spot anthing in there, but is 100% a createtion issue. Am happy if it helps for you guys to login and have a look, apart from this one issue product looks fantastic…

Cheers

Hi this may help find the issue, it looks like if you create the user folder, then the script is able to create the next directory down, it appears without been able to look properly at the server that the script is trying (guess here) to create 2 directories at once i.e. testuser/signature if testuser already exists then it can create signature

Does that make sense or help?

..and it should try and create one called _thumbs as well although it may do that later. Yes – please do take a look at the logs – hopefully something might pop out of there to explain it.

it's the top function in the fm-support.php file. Pretty basic stuff.

if I modify the createfolder function and the mkdir call to the following it works..

@mkdir($dir, $perm,true)

from

@mkdir($dir, $perm)

Here is the function.

function sffm_createfolder($dir,$perm)

{

if(@mkdir($dir, $perm,true))

{

chmod($dir, $perm);

return true;

} else {

return false;

}

Thoughts?

hmmm… interesting… I wouldnt have thought that was an issue and a use for the recursive create, but after some research on the net, it does seem like that could help here…

I will open up a ticket and take a look at if that should be a permanent fix.

Thanks for the help!
