• Hi Opa
    I am slowly making progress with permissions.
    My hosting facility run sPHP as a “dso” not cgi. Apache is run as unknown.

    QM reports as warning:
    wp-content/plugins/wp-photo-album-plus/wppa-utils.php:3297

    This line is trying to chmod $fso. I can’t find where $fso is set, and I don’t know how to find the filename value either.

    If you can tell me the filename, I can work that.
    If you need access again, just let me know.

    Cheers
    Gene

    You should not worry about that (the warnings are suppressed). As long as the rights on …/wp-content/uploads/wppa/ and …/wp-content/uploads/wppa/ are 0755 it should work.

    In your reply you said “uploads/wppa/ and uploads/wppa/”. I think you meant two different directories. Please clarify.

    The permission mask 755 does not work in a Apache DSO implementation. The web server is running under the “unknown” user account. My web hosting company prefers DSO approach for the httpd.

    It would seem that 766 should be sufficient, and protect from an uploaded php file being executable. However, when set to 766 WPPA triggers more errors, slide show on an album fails to load pictures, and general does not function correctly. There does not appear to be any executable files in the directory tree.

    I am at a loss…

    Sorry, yes i meant .../uploads/wppa/thumbs/

    I have no knowledge about Apache DSO, sorry…

    WPPA triggers more errors

    I can perhaps say anything meaningfull if you copy me the exact error messages produced by wppa

    Confirmed permissions are sufficient (per Apache DSO required).
    Info about Apache DSO: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/dso.html
    QM output provided directly.
    If you have another suggestion for PHP debug as you did with QM, I am open to giving that a whirl.

    Do you only have these errors/warnings, or is there also a functionality issue?
    If so, a link please and:

    See if you have any file(s) named .htaccess:
    1. in the wp root ( where wp-admin, wp-content and wp-includes are )
    2. in wp-content
    3. in wp-content/uploads
    If you have them, please list them here.
