Mahngiel Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 permissions determine who has access to read, write, and execute the file or in the directory. This has three sections: Owner, Group, Others and illustrated by a 10 'digit' association. drwxrwxrwx. Where the green d only applies if the item is a... directory. The absence of a character in the chain denotes removed permissions. ownership is determined by the creator of the file group permissions is determined by the groups associated with the creator of the file users A user's id / group determines if they have access to a file as determined by the permissions illustrated above. Your problem is that your web server (typically group www or www-data) does not have the proper permissions to write the image you are requesting. There are two scenarios as to why: [*]The folder is not writable by the user [*]The file is not writable by the user There are a slue of ways to fix this. Changing permissions of the folder, the file, changing groups, changing ownership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
