Permissions Images

[Reece^B]

Hi

What folders require CHMOD permission for Avatars, Uploads, Pictures, Attachments Etc..

vB manual doesn't state!

A good idea is to set them all to 777 including the index.html file inside them.

Thanks for the reply, but can you tell me the exact folders.

No need to set the index file to 777 only the folders

Maybe but I know I have problems when the index.html file is 655 so I always set it to 777..

The dirs would be:
signaturepics
customavatars
customprofilepics

You have to create Uploads, Pictures, Attachments of your own and CHMOD the same.

If I upload a pic via URL but choose to reference locally it 'fails to write'

However I can upload attachments etc fine.

aah.. now then, you are most likely using photopost vbgallery?.. if you are don't use reference locally it never works.

I would download the picture first.

No bud, generally if you add a image in a post from a URL.

I have the same issue, you have a choice to insert the image from the URL or to copy the image to your server and reference locally (check box for that - checked by default) - what is happening is that it comes back with an error stating that it is unable to write a temporary file.

If I knew WHERE it was trying to write the file I could check and see if that directory existed and what the permissions were on it. Anyone know???
