Upload of file failed. (Avatars, Attachments, etc...)

[squidsk]

If you do an ls- l what are the owner and group listed? What is the user for your webserver software?

The owner and group for my website folder (public_html) is Root/Nobody, and the directories and files inside public_html are owned by my web user "ttg001".

I am using CentOS Web Panel for my web control panel.


And I tried to move all attachments, Avatars, etc.. to the database, and it still doesnt let me upload. But it still serves the Avatars though, I can see all users avatars just fine. But when you try to upload a new avatar, it comes up with that error (Upload of the file failed).

I have also tried in combination with installing MySQL on the same server. But the database works either way. Just when I type in the host for MySQL in vB, I have to put the local IP of the server, instead of localhost.

I dont know what could be the problem, I have checked all Permissions, and Ownership. CentOS Web Panel even has a built in option to fix all permissions and ownership for a user, just in case you transfer a file or folder using a root account, you can fix all permissions with a single click.

I am wondering if this is a firewall issue? Strange that you are not seeing any logs.

You didn't answer what account your web software, presumable apache, runs on.

Run the command:

ps aux | egrep '(apache|httpd)'

The account associated with that process needs to be the one that has write access to your web files or uploads won't work.

For example, on standard ubuntu the web server software runs with the www-data account. If that account does not have write access to your forum folder you won't be able to upload into that folder.

That is exactly what I was trying to say before only you said it much better. :up:

This is the output from that command:

It seems that Root is running Apache/HTTPD. But the way that CentOS Web Panel installs, it installs everything for you.

It was not by the problem on your server or some thing else that due to a config on your forum.

You forgot to change it when you moved to a new hosting.

What do you mean? What else can I try to fix it?
