I installed a 2.4.0 piwigo on my VPS (ubuntu). And there's a new version 2.4.1 that requires upgrade.
But when I tried to update, it says "An error has occured during extract. Please check files permissions of your piwigo installation."

I also have the similar issue when install new update plugin via webgui. I believe this is the same problem of auto upgrade.
I searched a while in this forum for this issue. There's some clues that change the files permission to 777 or 755. Should I chmod all files in piwigo folder to 777? I do not think this is a proper security practice. What's the necessary files permission that required for autoupgrade? Can you show me a list of file permission?
Thanks.

Hello :-)

there should really be somewhere, may be on the install or update page, a clear explanation of what permissions are necessary/secure for automatic piuwigo install/update.

mine never works. Last time just now to upgrade to piwigo 2.5.2

I could not even make the upgrade mechanism work with 777 permissions (one file, I think obsolete something) could not be written.

my install works without problem on the apache piwigo folder and ftp upload. In fact "ftp upload" is dolphin fish upload, a variant of secure ftp (sftp) using ssh. Like this most of the files are owned by root, writable only by root and readable by anybody

as root, using

http://dodin.org/wiki/index.php?n=Photo … DeFichiers

works. but not for automatic update, even with wwwrun:www (apache) owner.

what would be nice would be a shell script setting the permissions (else, the chmod scans all the images, very long).

If I have a precise description of the permissions, I can even post the script :-)

thanks

even with all the files/folders owned by the apache user?? That's strange Do you have any security module/daemon...?
So you can't install extensions too?

Do you or could try Wordpress to see if that's specific to Piwigo?

I have wordpress and piwigo for several years now.

I never had problem with wordpress.

I often have permission problems with piwigo automatic update and, for example, it keeps right now saying there is a new piwigo and as soon as I clic on the link says that there are none. I just copied the new files over the old one, may bhe letting some old files, but deleting old files by hand I don't like, it's too easy to remove data by mistake. may be there is one lock/tag file I could remove to prvent this very minor hitch :-).

but this is not a question I want to really discuss, because I understand not many people own they own hosted server on openSUSE (kimsufi).

for me it would be enough to know what are the prefered permissions, I don't like to have any file as 777.

thanks
