Hi deheme

To be sure could you kinply please provide simple instruction setp-by-step?

When I create new dir in galleries and insert some files and next synch ten work fine.
But if I create symbolic link to some direcotry with pictures then not work (piwigo do not see the directory and files iside)

BR, Krzysiek

Hi,
In my Piwigo, I have the symlink outside galleries, but at the same level.
Then I declare ./p/ as a "new site", p being the symbolic link to my directory where my pics are located.
Then I synchronize the directories only
Then I synchronize the files.


Enjoy!

Hi,

Yes, this is permissions issue, but do not know how to resolve issue :/

My data HDD is mouted with ACL (on HDD without ACL I can add access and Piwigo work fine).


As I see user used by Piwigo that try read my pictures is www-data or root because that user run PHP and WWW services:

# ps aux |grep [w]ww
www-data 17192  0.0  0.1  12876  3716 ?        S    11:17   0:14 nginx: worker process
www-data 17213  0.0  0.3  60052 11932 ?        S    11:17   0:00 php-fpm: pool www
www-data 17214  0.0  0.3  60052 11932 ?        S    11:17   0:00 php-fpm: pool www

# ps aux |grep [n]ginx
www-data 17192  0.0  0.1  12876  3716 ?        S    11:17   0:14 nginx: worker process
root     23108  0.0  0.0  12292  3084 ?        Ss   00:04   0:00 nginx: master process /usr/sbin/nginx

I want linker HTC directory, in theory www-data user have read and execute access to directory. Files inside have the same access:

# getfacl HTC/
# file: HTC/
# owner: root
# group: users
user::rwx
user:www-data:r-x
user:krzysiek:r-x
user:dorotka:r-x
group::r-x
group:www-data:r-x
mask::r-x
other::r-x
default:user::rwx
default:user:www-data:r-x
default:user:krzysiek:r-x
default:user:dorotka:r-x
default:group::r-x
default:group:www-data:r-x
default:mask::r-x
default:other::r-x

Also I give access for other to read and execute and still nothing:

# ls -l|grep HTC
drwxr-xr-x+  2 root users 73728 paź 22  2014 HTC

Link in galleries dir seems is OK:

# ls -l|grep HTC
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root           root             71 kwi 18 21:13 HTC -> /media/6acff0b7-3a30-4c39-839a-76abecf91c04/backup/pictures/HTC

When I make mistake?
