Hi everyone,

One of the reasons why I chosen Piwigo is the fact that it can work without doing any modifications to my photos. This is very critical for me. I mount my photo folders as read-only inside /galleries, syncronise them, and then create virtual albums or whatever else. Everything works great :)

BUT
Looking in log files, I see that at every restart Piwigo (or some its component?) tries to change ownership of all my photos:

chown: changing ownership of '/gallery/galleries/SomeFolder/SomeFile.JPG': Read-only file system

and like this for all thousands of photos!
It does not harm, but I suppose slows down the start-up.
Is there a simple way of skipping these trials?

I am having this issue, too. Is there a known workaround?

There is not a single PHP chown() call in Piwigo core, nor in the plugins I have installed. Try this command line in your Piwigo directory to grep in your installed plugins:

Code:

grep -rw chown plugins

I tried this command, and it does not give any feedback

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Check your system setup.

Which log file did that come from?

> I mount my photo folders as read-only

Mystery solved? Maybe the app is running from a different user and doesn't have permissions setup.
