Posted by BigGorilla, 07-17-2007, 07:57 AM You or the webserver doesn't have write permissions on the directory the uploaded file is being moved to. If you are in a phpsuexec or similar environment, you need to have 755 permissions on the directory, otherwise you may need 777.
Posted by erigid, 07-17-2007, 07:58 AM It appears that the script /home/parsamds/public_html/c-panel/analysis.php is trying to upload a file to directory /home/parsamds/public_html/upload/adoptive_link/. Check the directory's permissions. You can either change the ownership of that directory to be owned by the webserver's user or something like chmod 777 /home/parsamds/public_html/upload/adoptive_link/. If that doesnt work check also the permissions for /home/parsamds/public_html/upload.

Posted by Jerenn, 07-17-2007, 10:29 AM another question .. by using permission 777 , will there be any problem about the security? thanks
Posted by erigid, 07-17-2007, 10:34 AM 777 means any user in your server can write to it. As far as security it depends on your server setup. You can also change the owner of that folder to be the webserver's user but user parsamds wont be able to write to it.
Posted by erigid, 07-17-2007, 10:36 AM BTW, if you setup the sticky bit on the directory everyone can write to it but a user can only remove the files they created. Those are usually the permissions for /tmp. To setup the sticky bit you use 1777 instead of 777
Posted by SparkSupport, 07-17-2007, 10:43 AM Make sure that you never have permission with 777 for folders and files, it is a major security threat.
Posted by Jerenn, 07-17-2007, 10:47 AM sure thanks
Posted by erigid, 07-17-2007, 10:51 AM I wouldn't call it a MAJOR security threat. It really depends on his server. I guess you can also do 733 but the web server user may need read access to that directory. Just use 777 for right now, see if it gets fixed, if it does, you know that was the problem. You can work your way up to secure it. If that wasnt the problem make sure to chmod it back to original permissions (probably 755)
