Cannot upload attachments

[WolfLust]

Thank you for replying SlammedDime,

I checked all the files and there's nothing about open_basedir about them.

However, in /etc/vhcs2/apache/httpd.conf I found:
<Directory /var/www/vhcs2/gui/tools/filemanager>
    php_flag register_globals On
    php_admin_value open_basedir "/var/www/vhcs2/gui/tools/filemanager/:/tmp/:/usr/share/php/"
</Directory>

Could this be related?

It also exists in: /root/VHCS/vhcs2-2.4.7.1/configs/apache/httpd.conf

<Directory /var/www/vhcs2/gui/tools/filemanager>
    php_flag register_globals On
    php_admin_value open_basedir "/var/www/vhcs2/gui/tools/filemanager/:/tmp/:/usr/share/php/"
</Directory>

Those wouldn't be it simply because of the Directory declaration.  What type of hosting do you have?  VPS? Dedicated?  Managed, unmanaged?

[WolfLust]

SlammedDime it's a shared hosting.

Thank you for replying.

Any fix yet because I am having the same problem

[WolfLust]

Still facing the same problem, no fix yet.

Here's what I get when I try to reset permissions to all files writable.
Some of the files the package manager needs to modify are not writable. This needs to be changed by logging into FTP and using it to chmod or create the files and folders. Your FTP information may be temporarily cached for proper operation of the package manager.

These guys are pretty good in these forums,we shall have a fix soon.

[Rumbaar]

In that regards, have you tried the Fix Ownership tool in the package manager sticky?

[WolfLust]

I cannot seem to find that package, can you please link us?

[Rumbaar]

It's the only Sticky in this section ....

Having problems with the package manager?

[WolfLust]

The tool detected /htdocs/forum/ as my forum path.

In the admin panel it's a different path that's NOT lit in red. Isn't this some kind of a conflict? I still can't upload attachments.

[Rumbaar]

Well your forum path and your attachment paths will be different.  Did you run the Fix Ownership tool anyways?  If there is some kind of path error, that might explain a few things though.

[WolfLust]

I did and all it gave me was something like:

This is your forum path please write it down:

/htdocs/forum

Note that this should be fixed in the next update.

Something like that, but I still cannot attach files. Even as admin.

[Rumbaar]

So it wasn't success in CHOWN the files to your account?  If it's the issue, not 100% sure, I'd ask you host to CHOWN the files to your account and see if that allows you to set the permissions correctly and access.

[WolfLust]

How can I know to what owner to chown the files? I have sudo access

[rocker]

It's the only Sticky in this section ....

Having problems with the package manager?

I am not using the package manager and I am not having quite the same problems,I have no red lettering and everything in my admin looks normal unless I am missing a hidden problem somewhere.My data base shows no errors.I have tryed all kinds of different permission changes.I have an email into my host to see if there is a problem they can find because I am also using soholaunch and can not get pictures to upload to my homepage either.

[rocker]

Update,I did nothing except get the hell away from my computor for about 8 hours and now my attachments are working again.please don't ask me how the problem fixed itself.I have however lost most of the site attachments.

[Rumbaar]

Well the main account you have that controls the whole server, I would assume is the one to set CHOWN for all files too.  But I've never done this myself, so would know of how wide or encompassing a change is required.

Did you have any luck with this?

I would reccommend going in with SSH, to your forum directory, and run this command

Code Select Expand

ls -l.

This will give you a more verbose directory listing, including owner, permissions, etc.

Please paste that here.

[WolfLust]

Thank you for your reply Metallica48423.

Here's what I get by running ls -l in the attachments dir:
