Must chmod all pics uploaded to gallery manually
08 November 2007 22:10
Anonymous After uploading a picture to the gallery
only the thumbnail shows but
not the original size, because the picture
ist set only to chmod 600.
I need to chmod 755 each picture in filemanager.

I have no idea why.
Gallery folder and subfolders are set to chmod 775.
Safe mode is off.

Any suggestions?

Anonymous The file should inherit the parent folder's permissions.

Are you sure that all directories up to the gallery directory have the correct mode?

Anonymous Hello and Welcome

The gallery component displays images as it should, when I upload new images they also take on the permissions as above and are displayed correctly.

Have you tried creating a new Category and uploading images to that?

How was your Drake CMS installed. Have you deleted any of the Gallery directories during your testing?, and what is the output of your Version Info in the backend.

This is another site that was upload via FTP, it has issues with the creation of thumbnails due to the way the servers Group and Owners system is setup. Same host as the one above.


Thanks, hope we can solve your issue.

Anonymous I think it's normal that the webserver's user impersonation creates files and directories with those permissions.

If files without 755 permissions cannot be publicly displayed by your server then you should check if any file created by a PHP process can be shown by the webserver.

This is not a Drake CMS issue - although we would be glad to provide automatic workarounds in the code if feasible (we always aim to the broadest possible hosts compatibility)

Anonymous I made a new installation and saw the message that
"PHP setting magic_quotes_gpc is set On"
I didn`t realize this the time before.

Maybe this can probably be the reason.

Thank you for your help, anyway. silly

Has the problem resolved itself?

No, it can't. Drake CMS will not continue installation if it cannot come up with a consistent installation.

No it is not solved.

I thought, that it had to do with this
"magic_quotes_gpc"-thing and for this reason
there would be no chance to make it run.

I have installed it without making any changes
and everything seems to work without errors.

So far only this one problem.
Actual: All files that are uploaded with the filemanager
have chmod 600

I have Pivotblog, CMSimple and Runcms working without problems.
Most CMS I tried with Mysql work proper but I like
to find a system with flatfiles.
So I hope you will find a solution.

If everything is working withgout error what is not solved.

What are you using the Filemanager to upload?


Thanks

I am not sure that other CMSes do create directories. Can you please check if they do? I guess no.

The problem in our case is that Drake CMS gallery component creates a directory for your gallery and puts files in it.

We can of course try to automatically fix this issue via a PHP chmod - are you going to assist in testing?

I surely know that 4images creates directories
and I had this working, too.

Yes, as far as I have the knowledge, ...
If it is more comfortable for you, I can give you access
to the administration of DrakeCMS on my server.


I will be back later.

Anonymous Well if somebody else can do it (via PHP), then Drake CMS will smile
You can submit the details of a Drake CMS admin user (it should be enough) to me via email (address found in this page)

But please note that we offer no warranty - so don't give us access to important data!

I will only perform the testing (about directories/files creation) and then tell you when I am finished.

Thanks

Anonymous Thank you very much - with your help Drake CMS has been fixed for this all hosts of this kind (which give fewer file permissions to uploaded files)

This is the patch: http://drakecms.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/drakecms/trunk/includ e...
