I have to start the procedure from the begining. When the page loads for first time in my Post_model I have this script
PHP Code:
// set up the folder for storing images and thumbnails
$dir = FCPATH . 'uploads' . DS . 'posts';
if (!is_dir($dir)) {
mkdir($dir, 0755, true);
mkdir($dir . DS . 'thumbnails', 0755, true);
}
the posts folder and the thumbnails sub-folder are created but they belong in daemon user and daemon group (which I honestly don't know where they come from). By this I mean user and group of the os. So any images that I try as a member user of the site are uploaded having this user and group name, see:
Code:
/opt/lampp/htdocs/www/my-app/public/uploads/posts$ ls -lah
drwxr-xr-x 3 daemon daemon 4,0K Sep 30 22:41 .
drwxrwxrwx 3 lykos lykos 4,0K Sep 30 22:40 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 daemon daemon 738K Sep 30 22:41 post-img-11.png
-rw-r--r-- 1 daemon daemon 738K Sep 30 22:41 post-img-12.png
-rw-r--r-- 1 daemon daemon 738K Σεπ 30 22:41 post-img-1.png
drwxr-xr-x 2 daemon daemon 4,0K Σεπ 30 22:40 thumbs
which pretty much doesn't allow me to delete them. If it do
Code:
sudo chown -R lykos /opt/lampp/htdocs/www/my-app/public/uploads
sudo chown -R :lykos /opt/lampp/htdocs/www/my-app/public/uploads
drwxr-xr-x 3 lykos lykos 4,0K Sep 30 22:41 .
drwxrwxrwx 3 lykos lykos 4,0K Sep 30 22:40 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 lykos lykos 738K Sep 30 22:41 post-img-11.png
-rw-r--r-- 1 lykos lykos 738K Sep 30 22:41 post-img-12.png
-rw-r--r-- 1 lykos lykos 738K Sep 30 22:41 post-img-1.png
drwxr-xr-x 2 lykos lykos 4,0K Sep 30 22:40 thumbs
Then I can easily delete images and the folders if I want to. But if I try to upload another image the upload library shows me the error that the folder is not writeble and doesn't let me upload.
I really don't understand what's going on .. do I have to set the hole php script that creates the folders and uploads images to a user (lykos) or some group and change some permissions too ?? I 'm completely confused..
