Granting ibay access to /tmp and /usr/bin
« on: June 02, 2006, 05:14:49 PM »
Hi, I am trying to install coppermine onto an ibay and ran into a bit of a problem.
The ibay does not have permission to access imagemagick located in /usr/bin/

I remember fixing this in SME server 6 with some kind of setprop command but I am having trouble finding the commands I used again.

secondly I know I will have to give my phpBB forum permission to access /tmp so file uploads work.
I am pretty sure it is the same command but I can't find it.

can anyone help me with the ibay customisation commands from the terminal?

Cheers!

by the by,
this distro (7.x) seems a massive improvement over 6, I am loving it!
Thanks for all the great work!

Here's how to give write access to the /tmp dir but remeber SME by default turn's of php write access to /tmp as a security measure :idea:

If you still want to turn it on type at console...

db accounts setprop <ibayname> PHPBaseDir /home/e-smith/files/ibays/<ibayname>/:/tmp
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event ibay-modify <ibayname>
