Well the error is permissions related, so the fix would involve changing the permissions of the affected file to allow the web server to read/write to it.

Yeah, I figured that, but I am wondering how thay got jacked up. We will probably just load the whole theme dir again and make sure the permissions are the same as a fresh install.

I am also having problems with file permissions, in V2.6.15. I ran into the posting problem yesterday which is described in the first post. This is on a new forum which had only been up for a day, less than 100 posts on it. Just to get the forum back up I ran a chmod 777 for all the files.

Then, figuring that something had happened to my permissions, I ran a clean install of a test forum. After I changed the permissions of the sub-directories in my production forum's Data Root directory to match the permissions of the clean install (711), I got fopen() errors for the cache subdirectory when I tried to change the name of one of the forums. The forum name was changed in the admin list but not in the home page display.

I was able to fix the problem by changing the permissions on cache to 733.

What relationship should a user and/or admin of the forum have with relation to the (linux) file permissions? At this point it seems that we must be "world".

Also, is there a list somewhere of what the file permissions normally are for a FUDforum on a linux system?

Thanks,
Astoria

The permissions do not need to be world, by default the forum files created during the install process are owned by the web server user. So very strict permissions can be used 0700 for dirs and 0600 for files.

Could my forum have become disassociated from the server user somehow? It definitely does not work when I set the permissions that strictly.

What user/group the web server runs as and what is the user/group who owns the files?

I am not sure I understand your question. We are using a hosting service. Our account with them owns the files for our site - it is just above the "public_html" level. ("public_html" is the same level at which I created the "non-public" files directory) The accounts I specified when creating the FUDforum are the one I created to be the owner of the MySQL database, which is different than the hosting account. The forum admin account (last one created by the install script) is not the same as the hosting account.

I am asking about file permissions, on *nix system each file/directory has an owner and owner group. My question to you was if those are the same as the user/group web server application runs as.

The web server application is run by the hosting service, not by us.

I realize that, but you can still find out what user it runs as...

I will try to find out.

The problem didn't start occurring right away; it seems to have started after one of the admins ran a "rebuild theme" on the default theme.

addendum: I just installed another piece of software, this time using a script provided by the hosting service, and when I tried to log into its admin account I also got file permission errors. Looks like this could be a problem with the hosting service rather than anything we did to our FUD installation.
Thanks for your time

I still haven't heard back from the hosting service. The files that were initially created when I set up the forum are owned by my site admin account.

The forum admin who ran the "rebuild theme" is not a site admin.

Subsequent files created by the forum seem to have an owner of "nobody".

I realise that this still does not tell for sure who is the owner of the web server application--unless perhaps it is "nobody". Apologies that I am unable to do so.

Creating a new instance of fudforum I get the following msg:
Quote:

Directory "(our directory name)" exist, however install script has no permission to write to this directory. Chmod it 777 or make it's user/group same as the (nobody/)

So it looks like "nobody" is the webserver owner.
Thanks

If all forum's files are owned by user nobody then 700 for directories and 600 for files are sufficient permissions.
