[13:01:20] so... are there any plans to have checkboxes on contribs like there are in page histories for revdel? [15:56:39] Hi there, I have a private mediawiki site where I mostly publish my assignments. The site is working fine but today I notice that I'm not able to upload images and getting the error that "Could not open lock file for "mwstore://local-backend/local-public/9/98/Example.png". Make sure your upload directory is configured correctly and your web server [15:56:40] has permission to write to that directory." The "images" and sub folders have 755 permission. The image upload feature was working fine in the past but I just notice this error today can someone please help? Thanks [15:59:34] Guest28: is your disk full, or have you reached the limit of your assigned quota for number of files/disk usage? [16:00:51] Let me quickly check. [16:03:19] The disk has enough space (50%). [16:06:13] And I don't have any limit set for files. [16:10:22] Well, something must have changed in the server, then... Maybe try to set 777 permissions on the images folder and subfolders (only folders, not files) and see if it fixes itself? Maybe the user account running php has changed [16:13:58] Checking [16:32:51] Vulpix You are right. After setting 777 to all folders I can upload the file but isn't it unsafe to keep it on 777? [16:34:11] Guest28: yes, it's unsafe. You should check who's the owner of the newly created file and change the owner of all files and folders, then return to 755 permissions for folders [16:36:35] May I know the code for this setting in SSH? I remember it's possible using chmod but can't recall the code. [16:37:43] Also, it's showing owner nobody [16:37:58] Group nobody as well. [16:46:17] it may depend on who's running php. If it's php-fpm, it's configured in the php-fpm pool. If it's apache, I guess it's the apache user (I doubt that's the case here) [16:46:37] It's apache [16:46:43] Will this work? find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; [16:47:15] that would be strange... apache uses mod_php and it runs under the apache user, I don't know if that can be changed [16:47:32] Guest28: yes, that's the correct command [16:49:37] Thanks, I changed it back to 755 using the above command but I'm wondering why it's showing "nobody" as owner and group. The owner and group was different the last time I checked. [16:53:28] Are you managing your own server? Otherwise maybe they changed some architecture. The server can be apache but it may delegate php execution to php-fpm, fastcgi or whatever else that may run under a different user [16:57:45] Yes I have dedicated server. [16:58:04] But I made no changes in the recent time.
