I keep getting this error when trying to configure the upload directory with Apache 2.2 and PHP 5.3 on CentOS.
In php.ini:
upload_tmp_dir = /var/www/html/mysite/tmp_file_upload/
In httpd.conf:
Directory /var/www/html/mysite/tmp_file_upload/>
Options -Indexes
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/html/mysite/images/>
Options -Indexes
</Directory>
CentOS directory permissions:
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 11 10:01 images
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 12 04:54 tmp_file_upload
No matter what I do, I keep getting this error from PHP when I upload the file:
Warning: move_uploaded_file(images/robot.jpg): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/html/mysite/process.php on line 78
Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move '/tmp/phpsKD2Qm' to 'images/robot.jpg' in /var/www/html/mysite/process.php on line 78
As you can see, it never did take the configuration from the php.ini file regarding the upload file.
What am I doing wrong here?
This question is related to
php
upload
file-permissions
Try this
find /var/www/html/mysite/images/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod -v 664
I have tried all the solutions above, but the following solved my problem
chcon -R -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t your_file_directory
I ran into this related issue even after having already successfully run composer. I updated composer, and when running composer install
or php composer.phar install
I got:
...failed to open stream: Permission denied...
It turns out after much research that the previous answers regarding changing permissions for the folder worked. They are just slightly different directories now.
In my install, on OS X, the cache file is in /Users/[USER]/.composer/cache
, and I was having trouble because the cache file was owned by root. Changing ownership of '.composer' recursively to my user solved the issue.
This is what I did:
sudo chown -R [USER] cache
Then I ran the composer install again and voila!
This worked for me.
sudo adduser <username> www-data
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www
sudo chmod -R g+rwX /var/www
Then logout or reboot.
If SELinux
complains, try the following
sudo semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t '/var/www(/.*)?'
sudo restorecon -Rv '/var/www(/.*)?'
Change permissions for this folder
# chmod -R 0755 /var/www/html/mysite/images/
Just change the permission of tmp_file_upload to 755 Following is the command chmod -R 755 tmp_file_upload
It happens if SELinux
is enabled. Disable that in /etc/selinux/config
by setting SELINUX=disabled
and restart the server.
If you have Mac OS X, go to the file root or the folder of your website.
Then right-hand click on it, go to get information, go to the very bottom (Sharing & Permissions), open that, change all read-only to read and write. Make sure to open padlock, go to setting icon, and choose Apply to the enclosed items...
The solution is so easy. Only right click the IMAGE (destination) folder, go to properties, click the permission tab, and change others access to Create and delete files.
This problem happens when the apache user (www-data) does not have permission to write in the folder. To solver this problem you need to put the user inside the group www-data.
I just made this:
Execute this php code <?php echo exec('whoami'); ?>
to discover the user used by apache. After, execute the commands in the terminal:
user@machine:/# cd /var/www/html
user@machine:/var/www/html# ls -l
It will return something like this:
total of files
drwxr-xr-x 7 user group size date folder
I kept the user but changed the group to www-data
chown -R user:www-data yourprojectfoldername
chmod 775 yourprojectfoldername
You can also run this script to find out the Apache process owner:
<?php echo exec('whoami'); ?>
And then change the owner of the destination directory to what you've got. Use the command:
chown user destination_dir
And then use the command
chmod 755 destination_dir
to change the destination directory permission.
Try this:
open /etc/apache2/envvars
sudo gedit /etc/apache2/envvars
replace www-data
with your your_username
"export APACHE_RUN_USER=www-data"
replace with
export APACHE_RUN_USER='your_username'
I wanted to add this to the previous suggestions. If you are using a version of Linux that has SELinux enabled then you should also execute this in a shell:
chcon -R --type httpd_sys_rw_content_t /path/to/your/directory
Along with giving your web server user permissions either through group or changing of the owner of the directory.
