I have been struggling with this for some time. I moved my wordpress site over from a PRQ domain to a dedicated server. The script is used for picture uploads. I didn't like the folder structure of wordpress by date and instead have a file structure in uploads that places the picture in a subfolder with the post id as the name. This worked just fine on the PRQ domain, but now fails to work on the new server. I am not super knowledgeable about being a server admin, but here is what i have tried.
chown-ing the uploads to the username:apache, apache:apache, nobody:apache, nobody:nobody. I also tried all these combinations up to wp-content and the public_html. all recursively of course.
chmod-ing all the folders to 777, 775, 755, 766.
safe-mode is not running
tried using mkdir and wp_mkdir_p actions.
Restarts on apache throughout just to make sure changes were saved and made.
None of this has any affect.
I have seen a few places that people have suggested getting ahold of the server host to give php writing capabilites. Would I have to do this even though it is a dedicated server that I installed everything on? If not, is there a config or setting I am missing. I see no reason why I can't make a new directory.
WP 3.5.1
php 5.3.3
Apache/2.2.15 (CentOS)
linux os
Check your server logs, you will find your answers there. Blindly trying things doesn't get you out of trouble. Their location should be /var/log/httpd/ .
Also, i do suspect that permissions is not an issue, but the way your php code acts, maybe you upgraded from php 5.2.x and there's something not working properly in php 5.3.x. Also, turn on wp error reporting from your wp-config.php file(see WP_DEBUG i think is called)

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've tried several versions of WAMP: 2.0 2.2 2.4 2.5 32 and 64,
and I've tried Apache stand alone on WINDOWS 7.
Root pages load but css, js and any other included files in sub-folders within a site do not load and Apace logs an access denied error.
It happens if the site is in the wamp/www folder or is an Apace alias.
I've tried gone through each step of the documentation, tried every config setting, install option, folder permissions, every idea found here and in every blog post Google returns in the search and nothing has worked. Allow all, vhosts, all those suggestions have failed.
What is up with WAMP/Apache on Windows 7? It worked fine right out of the box on my old XP machine.
thanks everyone hope someone has found a fix...
best, omcode
If you take a look into the source of the page (in your Browser), you'll quickly see that all your linked assets are using bad, non-resolving, or the wrong: path, domain, host, IP.
Possible walk trough's
check if rewrite_module is loaded if not check it and restart wamp.
Avoid relative path use absolute.
Check if the path & file-name is correct.
One of these will definitely be helpful for you.
I installed wordpress on my local machine (backtrack) for experimenting. After I got everything setup I moved it to an Ubuntu Server so that everybody can access those pages at work. I followed the same instructions, I moved the wordpress folder into /var/www but I created a new database with the same username, password and hostname.
The problem is whenever I access the webpage #ubuntu it tries to download the file, if access the page #backtrack it goes to the dashboard and everything is fine.
I did not have an .htaccess file on either machine sop I created one just to see if it will fix the problem but it did not.
Apache works fine because I can get to some folders I have setup by going to
"http://ubuntuserver/folder name"
and the logs shows no errors because it is delivering the webpage to the client just fine but the client is downloading it instead.
Any Ideas why this is happening??
Sounds like you haven't installed the PHP module for Apache or enabled it to use PHP using AddType in the Apache config file.
It seems that your WebServer ( Apache here, i suppose ) is not configured to use PHP module and/or is missing some PHP configuration options.
See here for some basic configuration tutorial.
I'm trying to use Dreamweaver with an existing code base (not WP, Drupal, or Joomla!) in a PHP/MySQL site. I continue to receive "Dynamically related files could not be found because of an internal server error." I've been googling all day and have read plenty of WP-specific solutions, including the thread on this site. I've tried all the methods listed, no luck.
Setup Info
MAMP 2.0.1
Mac OS X 10.6.8
Dreamweaver CS 5.5
Site's local address: /Users/myName/Sites/siteName
Testing server address: /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/siteName
Attempted solutions:
1) added library to site root (/Users/myName/Sites/siteName/library)
2) added library to MAMP root (/Applications/MAMP/library)
3) added include path for both locations to applied php.ini listed in phpinfo
4) set Dreamweaver to use Site Root paths instead of page-relative paths
5) switched back to page relative paths
6) Restart MAMP, reset ports in Preferences to 8888/8889, or 80/3306
7) checked site info to make sure paths are correctly defined
When I insert the following code, or any require function with a relative path, live view and preview in browser display empty pages.
<?php require_once('includes/initialize.php'); ?>
I'm incredibly frustrated. I had been using XAMPP and a plain text editor for previous work and never had an issue with relative paths. Any help would be appreciated.
Answering my own question; bad form, I'm aware.
EDIT:
Adding to previous list of attempted solutions:
8) tried designating the server ports as 8888/8889 and defining server route as http://localhost:8889/mySite/, like setting up a Drupal/WP/Joomla! testing environment.
9) Uninstalled/Reinstalled MAMP, Dreamweaver, disabled the out-of-the-box Apache server included with OS X, the redefined the site in Dreamweaver.
Fix attempt 8 led to packet error discussed here. Fix attempt 9, plus error reporting that hadn't been working, but did now:
// Report all PHP errors (see changelog)
error_reporting(E_ALL);
showed that the testing server was using the local definition to refer to dynamically related files and, even though that should work, it wasn't working.
After reinstall, created new site with "Site > Manage Sites" and defined Local Site Folder in "Site" menu and the Server Folder in the "Server" Menu as the same directory. (/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/mySite)
Refer to the Setup info in the OP to see my system variables; this may be specific to any/all settings. But only identical local definition and server definition solved the problem. I've recreated previous settings to be sure, and different local/server definitions don't work.
This error can happen with Dreamweaver and PHP sites if the contents of the included file make additional dynamic calls using PHP syntax that Dreamweaver doesn't recognize. Without seeing the contents of initialize.php, I can't be 100% sure this is the case but I am pretty sure that DW is not able to parse the code there and figure out what files to get for display.
Problem Dynamically related files that I see a lot of people run into:
Dreamweaver is scanning whatever is in you Local Copy, it should be a the full installation of WordPress. If you're working locally, download everything on your "Testing server" to your "Local view" in the Files panel.
If you're working with two sets of files, your local copy and what is in MAMP's htdocs or on your "Testing server" should be nearly identical, except for what you're working on of coarse. That's the problem I see people have.
If you're working in kind of "pho-FTP" environment.
I've just installed LAMP on my Ubuntu 9.10 machine, and everything works fine except when I copy my PHP files from another computer.
The LAMP guides I've followed also made me create a phpinfo() test file, which works, but when I try to type in e.g. index.php absolutely nothing happens - just a blank page in FireFox. :(
The files are in the exact same directory.
I'm thinking it's probably something with permissions and so on, but since I'm new to both PHP and Ubuntu, I'm kind of lost. It's like I can't create a PHP file with my file browser, but only by using the terminal - like when I created the testing.php from the LAMP guide.
Whaddayaknow... I made an error, tried to:
echo "Hello" world
which, even though I'm a PHP noob, I clearly know is wrong.
I think I'll have to figure out how to enable some sort of error reporting, a blank page is clearly not good enough.
You mean you have a index.php (copied from another computer) and a test.php (edited by hand, with a call to phpinfo()) in the same apache directory, the second works from your browser and the first doesnt ?
That can be a permission issue, or some compilation error in your php.
About permissions, for files should be readable from the apache server (more precisely, form the user that runs the apache server). You can type chmod a+r index.php.
YOu can also check your apache error logs (location dependent on installation). In any case it's vital to know where the error logs are if your are developing a web site.
