[SOLVED] Unable to open directory ?

[dbillings]

I recieve the following error:

 

Warning: imagejpeg() [function.imagejpeg]: Unable to open 'C:/wamp/www/thumb/' for writing: Permission denied in C:\wamp\www\image upload\resizeimages.php on line 62

 

If someone could just point me in the right direction that would be great.

 

<?php

if(isset($_REQUEST['submit'])){
$thumbarray = array();
$imagearray = array();
$dir = $_REQUEST['directory'];

	if(is_dir($dir)) {

		if ($dh = opendir($dir)){

			while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
				if(filetype($dir . $file) == "file") {

					if(exif_imagetype($dir . $file) != IMAGETYPE_JPEG) {
						echo $dir . $file . " Resize failed not a JPEG image. <br />";
					}else{



						$tmpname = $dir.$file;

						echo $tmpname." Type: JPEG <br />";

						$filesize = filesize($tmpname);

						$orig_image = imagecreatefromjpeg($tmpname);

						list($width, $height) = getimagesize($tmpname);							

						if($filesize > 157286) { // Resize image if it's over 150 kb's.

							$percent = 157286 / $filesize;

							$newwidth = $width * $percent;
							$newheight = $height * $percent;

							$new_image = imagecreatetruecolor($newwidth, $newheight);

							imagecopyresampled($new_image, $orig_image, 0, 0, 0, 0,$newwidth, $newheight, $width, $height);

						}

						// Generate thumbnail images.

						$thumbw = 50;

						$thumbh = $thumbw / $width * $height;

						$thumb = imagecreatetruecolor($thumbw, $thumbh);

						imagecopyresampled($thumb, $orig_image, 0, 0, 0, 0, $thumbw, $thumbh, $width, $height);

						chmod("C:/wamp/www/thumb", 0777);							

						imagejpeg($thumb, "C:/wamp/www/thumb/");

						chmod("C:/wamp/www/image", 0777);

						imagejpeg($new_image, "C:/wamp/www/image/");



					}
				}
			}
			closedir($dh);
		}
	}else{
		echo "The submited directory is invalid.";
	}

}
?>

sounds like you need to change the permissions of the directory to full control for your IIS/apache user

 

IIS user is under directory security and apache user is usually the user the service runs under e.g. start > run > services.msc > Apache or Apache2 > properties > [LogOg]

 

Alternativly you could give the group Everyone Full Control

I am making an effort here and I don't want you to think I'm not searching the web with every effort to figure this out for myself.

 

I have apache by the way and I can't figure out where to give myself full control. I think my user name is Dennis based on the services.msc you gave me. From what I read it appears that I would enter the following bit of code in the httpd.cofig...

 

<Directory "C:/wamp/www/thumb">

 

UserDir enabled Dennis

 

</Directory>

 

I'm not sure if that has to go anywhere in particular but I added it and my webserver wouldn't start after I did it. I'd really appreciate any additional help you could offer.

Sorry let me explain, it's not the configuration file that needs changing it's the windows permissions.

 

open the folder "C:/wamp/www/"

Right click on "thumb"

Click Properties

Click Security [tab]

Click Add

Enter Dennis

Click OK

Put a check in Full control

I have XP and and it doesn't have a security tab when I click properties. It has general, sharing and customize. It appears hopeless.

[dbillings]

figured it out. I needed to create a name for my file (duh) in my imagejpeg($image, $path.$randomname);

 

Thanks for all the help shocker.

[shocker-z]

just a not.

If you have no security tab, this is because simple file sharing is enabled.

 

To show your security tab (as you will need to do this at certain points of PHP scripting)

 

Open "My Computer"

Tools > Folder Options.. > View

scroll down to the bottom

take tick out of Use simple file sharing (reccomended)

 

 

Glad that you figured it out for your self

It doesn't work for Windows Home Edition which I have. I did a web search and I would have to restart my PC in safe mode and logon as administrator to adjust individual file permissions. Gotta love Home Edition.

cacls can be used in Windows HE for file perms.....

 

It doesn't have a fancy interphace though ;p.  cmd whoo whoo!

 

 

Edit:

 

Bleh guess I'll give an example:

 

mkdir everyone_can_mod_this
cacls everyone_can_mod_this /P "Everyone":F

[shocker-z]

calcs runs with no issues.. once you show it who's boss

 

Bit like women really lol Saying that i do have a kid and a fiancee lol

[corbin]

Yeah....  I use cacls on my computer with Windows HE a lot....

 

Anyway, sorry if I got a little off topic, but the whole cacls thing was kinda related ;p.
