Topic: Uploading files with www user imposible

[arcano]

Some applications use the web user (www in e-smith case) to temporaly upload files on a subdirectory, in most distibutions with the default installation, the www user can have write access. on any ibay i try to set those writes to the www user, on the shell it's done, but back on the aplication it still's haven't write access, I don't find where the problem is, does any body knows what's happen?  


thanks... really!

Did you check /var/log/httpd/error_log ? This file often reveals the cause of problems such as yours.

Any trace on /var/log/httpd/error_log. I really don't know, but i guess there is a file, it has to be, that deny the write access to subdirs via www user, i had tried with Atutor on its installation, with xoops using the uploader of the Cjay-Content module, and for what ever app that uses the www user to upload files, no matter if i change dir attributes to 777, i remain writeless... i have used 2 diferent machines with SME, and have the same result.

plus the instalation of SME 6.0.1
 i had: - awstats & mrtg contrib
        - clamav antivirus (Pagefault)
        - durep contrib...
        - DansGuardnan

I don´t think this has something to do with the issue...

does anybody has full working, for example Cjay, or anything else?

Also look in /var/log/messages?

Is it an httpd error, or a php error?

[arcano]

I guess is not an error, but i think is a kind of security issue an i haven't found where is the source.
Checking out the /var/log/messages i found that the import_lang.php coudn't wrote to the subdir... that is why...i wrote, no way to write through the www user!

For the header.ini.php  there ar not such lines, then i guess a part of some of the includes, but which one?

$import_path = AT_CONTENT_DIR . 'import/';
$archive = new PclZip($_FILES['file']['tmp_name']);
if ($archive->extract(   PCLZIP_OPT_PATH, $import_path) == 0) {
dir ("Error : ".$archive->errorInfo(true));
         exit;
}

Does anybody has web applications runnig on the e-smith box? i still haven´t conf the write access on for the www user, i had change the umask for it, i checkout the php.ini for reviewing the upload issue, and change the subdir content rights, it remain the same, i checkout the message and httpd logs, no errors just the warning i posted before....

if any body has web applications running on the sme boxes, that needs to write to a content subdir, please can you split your wisdow bit  little closer!
