General Support: Large thimbnail click gives me a 403 ? and graphic issue

Make sure you have full permissions on your /images/ directory. Try CHMODing it to 777, although you should've done this already during installation.

Ahhhhh but what i didnt try was chmodding the actual images... Doh

What about the graphics files? any idea why they are not appearing ?

I have the same problem. The thing is the uploader CHMODs the image file as 600. It should be 644. Is there anyway to fix this? Cause it makes no sense having to go thru all pictures uploaded to change permission.

In my case, I'm using this otherwise very nice script on a clients site, so he can upload his own photos. He doesn't even know what a FTP client is, much less how to CHMOD tons of files!

Thanks for any help on this issue.

Any help on this one? This is a very important issue. It doesn't make sense to have to CHMOD each file uploaded so it can show when the large thumbnail is clicked.

Attributes should be set as -rw-r--r--
this is chmod 644

sometimes you can tick boxes instead of entering numbers
or R / W / Xsymbols this should be

Owner read:yes Write:yes Execute:No
Group Read: yes Write:No Execute:No
Public Read:yes Write:No Execute:No

If you Chmod via ftp you can normaly select all the files in a folder
and chmod them in one go.

I tried a few times but couldn't reproduce the problem, so obviously I'm doing something differently.

Can any of you with that problem please do the following:
1) Upload a picture with FTP to the Uploads directory
2) Write down the permissions of that file after upload has completed
3) Import the picture to Plogger
4) Navigate to the images folder inside the Plogger directory
5) Write down the permissions for the collection and album folders into which you imported the picture
6) and write down the permissions of the picture file inside the album directory - that is the original image

I'm interested in those permissions are, please post them here.

Just thought I'd say ... I'm getting exactly the same thing happening, and it's rather a pest. Any fix for this would be absolutely great.

Sorry to be so dim, but could you possibly let me know exactly which line that is? I'd like to try to fix this problem, but amn't hugely familiar with PHP. It would be great if someone could tell me precisely where to drop this chmod command in.

What I've tried so far is in the add_picture function, at the end of it:

$thumbpath = generate_thumb($picture_path, $result['picture_id'],'small');
$thumbpath = generate_thumb($picture_path, $result['picture_id'],'large');
chmod($picture_path, 755);
return $result;

But I'm just totally guessing here, and anyway, it doesn't work. Probably me doing something wrong?

Many thanks

puzzleGD, thanks ever so much for your help, it's much appreciated. It works a treat now! I'm really pleased because I quite often want to upload pictures when I don't have FTP access, so it's great to know that the plogger "upload" functionality works properly now.

Thank you!

Bugz, this is what I changed my plog-admin-functions.php to, lines 57-64 inc, as per PuzzleGD's instructions ...

// cannot use move_uploaded_file here, because plog-import uses the same function and
// and doesn't deal with uploaded files
//if (!move_uploaded_file($tmpname,$final_fqfn)) {
if (!rename($tmpname,$final_fqfn)) {
$result['errors'] .= 'Could not move file! ' . $tmpname .' to '.$final_fqfn;
return $result;
}
else{chmod ($final_fqfn, 0644);} // add this code


I'm sorry, if yours doesn't work after this, I'm stumped - can't help you. Do hope you get it fixed though.

The problem isn't permissions, it's ownership and group rights.

The script is setting the owner to www and the group to nothing. That means the rest of the program can't touch it, because it's got a different owner and group. Something like this, where you plug in your info for new_owner and new_group:

else{
chmod ($final_fqfn, 0755);
chown ($final_fqfn, new_owner);
chgrp ($final_fqfn, new_group);
} // add this code
