I have a site built in phpmydirectory.
When I go to the Admin panel, I get the warning below.
Can anybody tell me how to fix it? Temp folder has permissions 755, and I have tried with 777 as well.
Scheduled tasks have not run in the last 5 days. Please ensure the /files/temp/ folder is writable. If it continues to fail, please setup your cron job to run hourly using one of the following:
Using PHP:
php -q /home/content/60/8955660/html/cron.php 2f1d8c64644e7d9d462d8602aed5e6a3
Using GET:
GET http://www.peydaa.com/cron.php?c=2f1d8c64644e7d9d462d8602aed5e6a3
Thanks in advance.
Please make sure that Apache web server group called "www-data" is the owner of "/files/temp/"
Example:
chmod -R 775 www-data /files/temp/
chown -R www-data:www-data /files/temp/

I found my crontab scripts do not work as expected because they cannot write on /var/log. I tried executing command:
sudo /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/iPhone/inarrivo/php/rome/process.php >>
/var/log/romeLoading.log 2>&1
by hand and got:
-bash: /var/log/romeLoading.log: Permission Denied
/var/log permissions are:
drwxr-xr-x. 13 root root 4096 15 ago 16.20 .
If I conversely execute:
sudo touch /var/log/loadRome.log
I get no error whatsoever.
What could be the issue?
Please note Apache is not at stake: I am calling those scripts from the root crontab and from the shell with sudo as a test.
best guess: the user running the shell doesn't have write access to /var/log/romeLoading.log , and the stdout redirect (>>) is redirected by the shell user, not the sudo user, thus the access denied on >> , but not on sudo touch. maybe try
sudo sh -c '/usr/bin/php /var/www/html/iPhone/inarrivo/php/rome/process.php >> /var/log/romeLoading.log 2>&1'
that should run sh as root, and have the root-sh do the redirect with root permissions. untested though.
and next time you want to post permissions for debugging, post the namei -l path/to/file output, it gives much more info than stating the single file itself when debugging permission issues, as the issue can be higher up than the file itself, like the folder its in, or the folder that the folder it's in, is in, etc~ and namei gives you, recursively, detailed permission information on all of them.
It's a permissions issue as the log file belongs to root user and apache runs off www-data. Try chown www-data:www-data /var/log/loadRome.log.
I have a test script which does following:
$a = shell_exec("sox /var/www/html/media/file-all.gsm -r 8000 -c 1 -e signed-integer /var/www/html/wav-files/file-all.wav");
script runs as apache user
source and destination both files and folders have 777 permission
tried changing the group and ownership to apache user too
Still does not work.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
One possibility is, that the sox command is not in the PATH used by apache user.
Specify the absolute path to sox in your shell_exec() call.
I am trying to install RackTables on a Ubuntu Server 13. I have followed all the steps on the documentation. When I get to the step after I connect to the database I cant seem to figure out the ownership settings.
I have set up the database as follows :
mysql -uroot -p
create database racktables;
grant all on racktables.* to root;
grant all on racktables.* to root#localhost;
grant all on racktables.* to rackuser;
grant all on racktables.* to rackuser#localhost;
set password for rackuser#localhost=password('rackpw');
exit
Here is the step that I am stuck on;
RackTables installation: step 4 of 7
Please set ownership (chown) and/or permissions (chmod) of /var/www/racktables/inc/secret.php on the server filesystem as
follows:
The file MUST NOT be writable by the httpd process.
The file MUST be readable by the httpd process.
The file should not be readable by anyone except the httpd process.
The file should not be writable by anyone.
For example, if httpd runs as user "nobody" and group "nogroup",
commands similar to the following may work (though not guaranteed to,
please consider only as an example):
chown nobody:nogroup secret.php; chmod 400 secret.php
I have tried the
chown root:rackuser /var/www/racktables/inc/secret.php
chmod 400 /var/www/racktables/inc/secret.php
I cant figure out how to set up the permissions so that they fall into this category
The file MUST NOT be writable by the httpd process.
The file MUST be readable by the httpd process.
The file should not be readable by anyone except the httpd process.
The file should not be writable by anyone.
Please help. Any suggestion is appreciated
Thank you
First you have to figure out which user and group your web server (Apache/nginx/etc) are running under.
If you're using Apache, you should be able to check by running:
grep -E '^(User|Group)' /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
In Ubuntu, it's common for both user and group to be www-data.
Once you know that, you should be able to change the file's ownership like:
chown [webserveruser]:[webservergroup] /var/www/racktables/inc/secret.php
Example:
chown www-data:www-data /var/www/racktables/inc/secret.php
Keep the chmod the same as you had before.
This should mean it's readable by the www-data user and only the www-data user, writable by nobody (including www-data), which should mean all four of your conditions.
I'm using CodeIgniter's upload helper and received the above error when trying to upload an image. The permissions for the folder I'm trying to upload to are 755. When I changed it to 777, the error went away, but isn't 777 kind of a security risk?
I'm running on Apache. Is there a better way to allow users to upload files without setting the folder permissions to 777? How can I get 755 to work?
Thanks for the help!
If the folder is for loading files by users than permisision 777 is required.
It's up to you to validate what files are loaded through upload script.
Also you can use .htaccess to alow or not alow certain files to be executed from that directory.
The documentation for upload in codeigniter it's pretty simple and intuitive. Also here you can look at some ways to validate the type of files that are uploaded https://codeigniter.com/userguide3/libraries/file_uploading.html
I don't think so giving any folder on server 777 permission is good. Instead giving 777 permission i suggest make www-data user as owner of desired folder and give 755 permission like below
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/uploads/
For 755 permission
chmod 755 -R /var/www/html/uploads/
In my NGINX + PHP-FPM installation the issue was solved changing the SElinux parameters from enforcing to permissive:
edit and change options with vi /etc/selinux/config
apply options without restart with sudo setenforce 0
check the status with sestatus.
try this:
sudo chmod 777 -R /path/to/write/folder
I know this is not an active question and may not be an issue for most but because I came across this I wanted to clarify for anyone else that may see this.
You DO NOT need 777 permission on your upload directory. This is actually not a good idea. The last 7 means it is public writable which does not need to be in most cases. Typically 755 should be good enough
More than likely the issue is that the directory is not owned but the user running Apache which is typically www-data
Step by step:
Check owner of dir (i.e.)
ls -l /path/to/upload/
Output should show similar
drwxr-xr-x 4 www-data www-data 4096 Oct 26 20:41 uploads
If not then you should change to www-data if that is the user Apache is running under. To check what user apache is running under :
ps aux | egrep '(apache|httpd)'
This should list something similar:
www-data 419 0.0 0.9 556292 156656 ? S 18:46 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
Hope This Helps!
I know that there are a lot of similar questions, but just hear me out and if this was a silly question and there was nothing new about it, i'll just delete this question.
I'm trying to upload using php, but I get permission denied. So here's what I did to solve it and didn't work:
first of all, this is localhost, so i can't set the owner of the files to apache, because I won't be able to edit them.
So I got the apache user name in php, and it was www-data
I created a new group called 'localhostowners'
I added my own user to this group
I added www-data to the group
when I run
grep -i 'localhostowners' /etc/group
I get
localhostowners:x:1001:mnvoh,www-data
And then I set the file permissions for everything on the localhost dir to 764
and set the owner with this:
sudo chown -R mnvoh:localhostowners localhostdir
But now I can't execute the php scripts hence the 4. although according to what I know, the 6 should be affecting apache, since I set the group on the files. What am I doing wrong here???
Thanks everybody :)
Test with:
sudo chown -R mnvoh:localhostowners localhostdir
sudo chmod 764 -R localhostdir
-R: recursivity
First you should check the permission the file
ls -a
or
ll
and make sure the person who want to execute the file have X permission.
-user-group-other
-rwx rwx rwx
