I have been having trouble with writing an uploaded file into a pretty vanilla Drupal 7.27
install.
What I want to do is use tinymce and the really quite nifty file browser lioniteimages with it. I am using the wysiwyg module though I have modified it to accept the lioniteimages package (minimally- just listing it so it works really)
Sadly, when I use lioniteimages, it fails at the upload stage, returning a 'directory is not writable' error.
Poking around in the PHP code shows this results from a FALSE flag from the PHP is_writable() call in the upload script. I have confirmed it is checking the expected directory. I have tried adding an is_readable call to test the same directory and this too returns FALSE so I suspect an apache issue or .htaccess here.
I have tried setting the relevant folder permissions to 755 and 777 without success.
I can upload files into the folder using cute FTP
I have tried adding .htaccess in the image upload directory:
order allow,deny
allow from all
And all without success. It is possible to see the permissions correctly set to 777.
I get a 403 error if I try to access the /images directory in my browser with or without the .htaccess though the Drupal .htaccess removes auto directory listing.
Any assistance would be very much appreciated. Sorry there is no actual code to share - this is a configuration question really but I am stuck as to where to go from here.
The directory structure is:
/public_html/site/sites/all/images
/public_html/site/sites/all/libraries/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/lioniteimages/connector/php
I have also tried deleting and re-installing the Drupal instance with only the wysiwyg module installed and the problem does not go away. Deleting the drupal .htaccess does not help either.

I'm working locally with XAMPP and Wordpress and I'm struggling with what is probably a very basic config issue. I'm not a professional IT guy, just a hobbyist hacker so I apologise in advance if I'm being a bit dumb but hopefully somebody can kindly offer some assistance here.
I've installed xampp locally on my iMac. I've then installed wordpress using the xampp wordpress installation package. Both seem to be working fine. To test the web server I created a simple .php test file and this generated the expected output when I entered "localhost/hello.php" into my browser. As far as wordpress is concerned entering "localhost/wordpress" gives me access the local wp interface to create and edit posts, change display settings etc etc. So far so good...
Now I want to create a new .php file that includes the instruction:
require('XXX/wp-blog-header.php')
where the "XXX" is obviously the relevant directory path for the wp header file.
I cannot find this file, or indeed local wordpress files, anywhere (and I've searched extensively). In the "home" location for "localhost" (which I know from my "hello.php" test) there isn't even a wordpress directory so I'm totally puzzled as to how typing "localhost/wordpress" in my browser is accessing the local wp installation or how to go about determining the correct directory path for the wp header file I'm looking for?
I do understand that with this stack a great deal of info will either be generated on the fly, or stored in the local mysql database as opposed to the file structure, but I thought I would find some reference or alias somewhere to help me trace this through and determine what path to include in my .php file for wp-blog-header.php.
I've searched this forum and while there are several related questions I haven't found anything that helps me with this particular issue.
Thanks vm,
Ian
The location of your Wordpress files is:
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/apps/wordpress
Ok I found the path I needed and (partially) understand why I couldn't locate it. As Scriptonomy helped me identify the Wordpress files are held at:
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/apps/wordpress
While my test.php file is held at:
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/test.php
The reason I couldn't locate either wp-blog-header.php or wp-load.php is because these there is an another "htdocs" sub-dir under the wordpress install location i.e.:
../apps/wordpress/htdocs
However I (as user "admin") don't have access to read this directory and so couldn't see the contents and therefore couldn't find the files. The permissions on the directory belong to "daemon" which I guess was the XAMPP installer package? Setting the directory path in my test.php file to:
../apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-load.php
somehow the web server (?) can read the file (even though I can't see it myself via the Finder application) and so the code is now giving the expected result.
So problem solved even if I don't quite understand the solution!
Thanks for replies which helped me eventually get to a solution!
Cheers,

First time asking a question here but I'm really stuck.
Basically I'm trying to install a Silverstripe 3.1 cms on a subdomain as a development site, on my main domain I already have a Silverstripe 2.4 site running.
The first thing that comes up is this error, "development" is the subdomain folder.
Warning: require_once(framework/dev/install/DatabaseConfigurationHelper.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/usr/public_html/subdomain/framework/dev/install/install.php5 on line 39
I check if the file is there and it is, then I check if the filepath is wrong because the file that is calling require_once has a full path from home/ but that can't be it because I've been able to install Silverstripe on my localhost.
I google redirecting (I've had no experience with it before) and find stuff on htaccess related to Silverstripe but none were problems that I was having, i.e. there are .htaccess files in main directory and subdomain. Not too sure if they're conflicting but I have tried RewriteEngine Off on my subdomain. I mostly leave the default Silverstripe .htaccess files as they are.
Even declaring different suPHP_ConfigPath's i.e.
main website: home/usr/public_html/
subdomain: home/usr/public_html/subdomain
At this point I look back at the error and try hacking the require_once filepath, changing it to
$_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . '/framework/dev/install/DatabaseConfigurationHelper.php
It mostly works but the requirements check page is void of css and any fails to GET any images
I am able to check all the requirements though passing everything but the File Permissions check:
"Does the webserver know where files are stored?" failed. Showing me the filepath it tried being the absolute path of a file prepended with the path to the subdomain. Looking at the code my hack was never intended to work.
Did I miss something? I'm not very knowledgeable with servers but I've done everything I can think of, is there anything I can do?
Hey thanks for your suggestion but I think it was meant for addon domains? I only wanted a subdomain for testing purposes.
What I ended up doing was to avoid installing Silverstripe on the server and instead install it on my laptop and then upload that to the server. It worked fine after copying the appropriate database and fixing Silverstripe's BaseURL to '/'
I am getting the following error
Unable to create directory /wp-content/uploads. Is its parent
directory writable by the server?
whenever I try to upload images via the Media tab in Wordpress. I am running on a LAMP setup, specifically on Ubuntu with Wordpress version 4.1.1. I'm working on a localhost site otherwise I would provide a link. I've tried all of the solutions that I have found and so far, none of them have worked.
Things I've tried:
I recursively changed the permissions of the wp-content folder to 777. (I'll downgrade the permissions to a safer setting after this problem is solved.)
I changed the group owner of the uploads folder to www-data as seen in this solution so that Apache would have group ownership of the folder.
I deleted the .htaccess file and resaved the permalinks setting.
I tried changing the uploads path in wp-config.php.
I asked this same question on the Wordpress forums and received one answer that I tried, but it didn't work for me. At this point I have no clue what to try. If anybody has an idea of what I need to do to get this to work it would be greatly appreciated.
When permissions or files become corrupted, it can often be worth re installing the WP core files from scratch, I recommend downloading the WP files from the codex site.

We recently have adquired the credentials to fully play with our website hosted outside.
So we need to mount it locally on a XAMPP stack to fully deploy the site and asociated database.
It've been already done, and everything seems to work properly except for the images in the site.
It is a DRUPAL site. Some images are "full path coded", so they work as we can expect, but major of them are just relative path coded.
Now, I've everything mounted on localhost. Let's say the folder with the site it's called "web".
Then i've everything on:
c:/xampp/htdocs/web/.......
So I access to it via: http://localhost/web/
I've tested that all the non viewing images, if I append the "http://localhost/web/" on the 'src="/site/..."' they are accessible and look right.
So, is there a way to via .htaccess add the "http://localhost/web/" on those URLs who hasn't it? It doesn't only happens with images, it's just related with all the links, urls, srcs, whatever which is just "relative pathed".
I've already tried the "RewriteBase /web", but it doesn't work.
Need help to solve this so, please.
In summarize, the site online is just mounted on the root, so everything works, fully or just relativetly pathed. But in my case, I've got the development site inside a folder, so I need it to work too!
Much appreciated.
If this is a Drupal 7 site (might work for Drupal 6) make sure you have a tmp directory set. Go to admin/config/media/file-system and look for the temporary directory. Also confirm that you have this directory on your root, which for XAMPP is the htdocs folder.
This might be a file permission that can be caused by incorrect .htaccess settings (This link may help: https://www.drupal.org/node/2140629) in the folder set as your temporary directory.
This may also be a document root error. You can change that by editing the DocumentRoot setting in C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf.

I read the docs and installed lithium exactly like they have explained but I keep on getting a 403 forbidden error. I am new to apache and php and I have been spending two full days trying to make lithium work. I am running apache 2.0 on osx lion and here is what I did:
1- I created a new directory called my_app in localhost/~marwan/
2- I extracted the sample lithium app in to that directory.
3- I downloaded the lithium framework and extracted it into /libraries/lithium/
When I access http://localhost/~marwan/my_app/ I get the following 403 error:
You don't have permission to access /~marwan/mj/ on this server.
I have researched and added Options +FollowSymLinks to the .htaccess file and the error changed to:
You don't have permission to access
/Users/marwan/Sites/my_app/app/webroot/webroot/ on this server.
I have tried to add Options +FollowSymLinks to every .htaccess file but nothing changed.
I dont know if this is relevant: websites on localhost/~marwan/ work but localhost also shows a 403 error. I tried to fiddle with different permissions posted in previous answers but with no luck.
Thank you for your help.
httpd.conf file is here http://pastebin.com/jLwHPbuq
Edit:
httpd-userdir.conf is here http://pastebin.com/ZXi51pn7
httpd-vhosts.conf is here http://pastebin.com/3xqRmrzL
Update
The lithium project works when I remove the .htaccess from the main folder but it doesnt work properly because rewriting doesnt work. Here is the .htacces in the project root http://pastebin.com/vt0fVyyL
The path you provide in the error message /~marwan/mj/ and the path you provide that you are trying to reach http://localhost/~marwan/my_app/ do not match. According to the error the web server says you are trying to access a directory called mj while your url does not include mj so unless you are doing some URL rewriting this looks like an issue.
Also, just to be clear, when you say you installed the library in /libraries/litium you mean relative to the web root path, correct?
OK, looking at your conf files you can serve files out of /Library/WebServer/Documents or out of ~/Sites (that tilde represents your user directory so it is the same path as /Users/marwan/Sites)
Do this...
In /Library/WebServer/Documents place a file called index.html and have it output some text.
Make sure there are no .htaccess files in /Library/WebServer/Documents.
Make sure you have not modified your httpd.conf file in any way from its default settings.
Do you see the correct behavior for your index.html (you should)? If not, what happens?
I looked at the error log after restarting apache and found DocumentRoot [/usr/docs/dummy-host.example.com] does not exist so I fixed it by using this answer stackoverflow.com/questions/6671042/… and now it works.
