Exhibit Permission Problems

    I have installed Exhibit for my WordPress blog. However when I try to upload an image or viewing the contents of a folder created through Exhibit to store photos.
    When I try to upload a new image, I get the following error.
    Warning: imagecreatefromjpeg(/home/depicaac/public_html/blog/galleryimages/matt/Edited Ocean View from Amelia Inn.JPG): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/depicaac/public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/exhibitimg/exhibit10f.php on line 618

    Edited Ocean View from Amelia Inn.JPG uploaded successfully, 415k bytes.
    (It says it was succussfully uploaded, but it doesn’t upload.)
    When I try to view the contents of a folder, I get the following:
    opendir(/home/depicaac/public_html/blog/galleryimages/test): failed to open dir: Permission denied in /home/depicaac/public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/exhibitimg/exhibit10f.php on line 485
    I see that these are alot of permission errors. I have tried 777,755, and 666 permissions for both the “galleryimages” folder folders mentioned in the config file. I’m not sure what else I could try.

    Have you correctly put the file permissions in the exhibit config as well. I did this for someone recently, and it needed the config file to have the same numbers for the permissions as the folders themselves.

    I just tried them again verifying permissions in the config matched the actual folder permissions. I’m still getting the same errors.

    I’ve tweaked it for the past few hours. I have been able to cut it down to 2 errors.
    This is what I get when I upload an image:
    Warning: chmod(): Permission denied in /home/depicaac/public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/exhibitimg/exhibit10f.php on line 655
    sunriseonocean_small.jpg uploaded successfully, 65k bytes.
    (It successfully uploads the image, but I would like to get rid of this error message.)
    When I try to view the contents of a directory created in the admin panel, I get the following:
    Warning: opendir(/home/depicaac/public_html/blog/galleryimages/matt): failed to open dir: Permission denied in /home/depicaac/public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/exhibitimg/exhibit10f.php on line 485

    I’ll give it a go …
    In ‘exhibit10.cfg’ what do you have on:
    101-104
    # use_chmod is the chmod setting to use for created files.
    # Set to 0 if you don’t use it. 0664 is a good setting.
    # See also below: use_chmod_dir
    use_chmod=0
    and
    195-197
    # use_chmod_dir is the chmod setting to use for created directories.
    # Set to 0 if you don’t use it. 0777 is a good setting.
    use_chmod_dir=0

    I’m using the recommended settings; 0664 and 0777. I first tried taking the 0 off in front of each number since I have never seen chmod with 4 values before. I have tried 0664, 0644, 0755, and 0777 for the first setting (101-104). I have tried almost all possible settings for the second one; 0755, 0777, 0666, 0664, 0644. I have probably worked for a least an hour on it trying different chmod values, but I still can get it to work.

    Have you contacted the plugin author at all ?

    No, I was going to wait and see if anyone here could solve it first. However, I will e-mail the author shortly.

    Beware: My Linux permission knowledge is limited to getting my own stuff to work, and I’m not familiar with your setup…
    It looks like your admin panel is creating directories with a user that PHP isn’t in the same group as. You might not need to have chmod settings in Exhibit. Did you try setting them to 0?
