Need your help – moving files after upload

[Adam Kiss]

Hi,

I have a problem with one of my servers, which is running PW2. I want to upload new picture, but system gives me:

Unable to move uploaded file to: /var/customers/webs/brroc/ozzo/site/assets/files/5844/think.png

Even though every directory in path /site/assets/files/5844/ is chmodded to 777? It was previously set to 766, but during testing I set every one to 777.

I already wrote to server guys to check if we didn't ran out of server quota or do not have some very restricted access on our user.

If it's not it, what may I do?

Hi Adam,

Didn't we find before that if one of the parent dirs lacked "x" permission for apache, that this could happen? I don't recall exactly, but it seems like there was something like that happening on one other person's hosting account.

Do you have shell access? i.e. could you chmod -R og+rwx in /site/assets/ to test?

Otherwise, I think you may be right about server quota or possibly something in the PHP settings. Have you looked at all file upload related settings in phpinfo?

Hi ryan,

as I wrote you, every directory along the path [/site/, /site/assets/, /site/assets/files, ...] has 777 as mod [set via FTP app], so I'm positive, that I did everything I could. Isn't there something in my code I can do to turn on some 'moar' error messages, e.g. more detaild description of what happened?

Adam,

Have you set $debug = true in /site/config.php? Though the error message you reported is fairly specific, so I'm not sure it's going to get any better than that. What you may want to do is try putting a test file on the server in the web root and then loading it from your browser. I'm guessing it'll report the same problem, but running this test at least allows us to rule out some things. Let me know what it does.

/test.php

<pre>
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL); 
ini_set("display_errors", 1); 
$target = "./site/assets/files/1/test.php";
copy("./test.php", $target); 
if(is_file($target)) {
   echo "\nfile was copied";
   unlink($target); 
} else {
   echo "\nfile was not copied -- what error message did you get?";
}

Where is the file uploaded at first ? That is, before being moved to site/assets/files/... ? *Moving* implies copying then deleting the original file so the original file could be in a (temp ?) folder that is not chmoded to 777 ?
