Permissions Problem in uploads directory Can't Post

Hi there-

Seems there has been a little discussion on some permissions problems within the upload directories - and now I seem to be experiencing this as well. I didn't see much posted as to the root of the problem, so I thought I'd post here.

I have several installs of CMSBuilder running with the same ISP. So far, this is the only one I see impacted.

It was running fine about 24 hours ago - now I cannot see images in pages, and a quick check shows all uploads are set to 666 permissions. I tried uploading new images - no dice.

I have a feeling it is the isp - but they said I should check whatever scripts I have running to make sure it's not going to reappear.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi Jeff,

That's really strange. I don't know of anything in CMS Builder that would automatically change permissions on your images.

Chmod 666 is read/write so that should still be fine for images. What you'll want to check is the uploads directories have "execute" permissions (or 777). Directories can't display their contents on linux/unix unless they have execute permissions.

If you can't track it down and get it working quickly feel free to send me the url of a page with broken images and FTP details to dave@interactivetools.com and I can take a look.

Hope that helps!

Thanks Dave!

Odd... Coincidence? I notified the ISP about images not showing, but I could also not change permissions...

Now, after almost 24 hours of being broken (not showing in pages) the images are now working this morning.

Any ideas?

This is odd...

That is strange. The host might have been making some changes. I'd keep an eye on it... And next time it happens just email me directly and I can take a look.

Glad it's working now at least! :)
