File uploading....

ouch_

Hi,

I have a problem viewing image file in yahoo small business server. So far my codes are working fine in my localhost but when i upload the files into yahoo server i get a 403 forbidden error. I have tried to do a check on the database and server itself and found everything to be in place. The problem is that when i try to view the darn image i still get the 403 forbidden error.

I understand that you must make sure folders permissions is 0777 but how do i do it? Could there be a problem with my connection to server? Some1 pls help, I feel very lost.

chmodding to 0777 can be done in almost any FTP program. Or, you can write a short php script to CHMOD any folder you want. Look at the manual on [man]chmod/man for help or tips. Look at the user notes.

hmm... are there any tutorials ? that manual seems abit hard to understand.

bpat1434

Have you tried google?

ouch_

i tried... doesnt seem to help . I'm not sure whether i placed it right.
My coding might be wrong. I didnt receive an error, but the image just refused to display and give me that forbidden error.

But i just added these lines.

$uploadDir = getcwd()."/upldimg/";
chmod($uploadDir, 0777);

ouch_

Anyone can help? a tutorial or haf codes i can try and understand it better?

I resolved it creating the upload
directory by the script.
It works.
Sorry I tried I don't know if
you can do it.
Good luck.

I have no problems with the directory. Its just the server gives me a 403 forbidden error even after file is being uploaded which i think requires some permission when i upload a file or maybe permission to view. I desperately need help with chmod tutorial.

bpat1434

there isn't much of a chmod tutorial, you have choices on chmod:
777
755
644
000

But if you chmod everything to 777, then it's the server, not PHP causing an issue. And you shouldn't need 777 to see the item, you should only need 644....

But since you were too lazy to google for it:

Google Search: chmod wrote:

chomd tutorial 1

Not to mention the chmod manual page, and the user notes....

I resolved it after ransacking over the web. Thanks bpat1434, although that info wasnt enuff.

Here's wad i did... Downloaded FlashFXP which is a ftp program to connect to server.
Change the folder's CHMOD(Attribute) setting it to 777.
(Image link example of the setting)

I thought and did a few trial and errors on where to place the chmod and decided to place it after the file has been uploaded. Seem like it helped.

if(($_FILES['thumb_filename']['error'] == UPLOAD_ERR_OK)
{
	move_uploaded_file($_FILES['thumb_filename']['tmp_name'], $uploadDir.$_FILES['thumb_filename']['name']);
	// Everything for owner, read and execute for others
	//chmod($uploadDir.$_FILES['thumb_filename']['name'], 0755);
}

I feel much better =D

bpat1434

well yes... you normally chmod files after they've been uploaded...

And any FTP program would have sufficed. Technically, FlashFXP is an FXP program with FTP functions. FXP is site-to-site transfer, rather than computer to site transfer....

I see. Thanks man.
