You'll love this one! osC admin uploaded images...

[jhande]

I have no clue when or what caused it.

But all my product images uploaded through the admin panel are set to 777 permission.

 

First I thought my host had something to do with it.

So I uploaded (FTP'ed) some images to my folders and all was fine - permission 644.

I then tried uploading images through Dreamweaver 8, all fine - permission 644.

 

I just uploaded a new product to my catalog, AHH - permission 777.

 

I did a Google search and only found this - http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/lofiversion/i...php?t43220.html

Which states:

Images uploaded by osCommerce are often owned by user "nobody" instead of you so you can't chmod them. The solution I found posted somewhere in these forums was to add this line

chmod( $target, 0646 );

right after this line

move_uploaded_file($filename['tmp_name'], $target);

in admin/includes/functions/general.php. Unfortunately this only fixes the problem for future uploads. I have a pretty small store, so I just re-uploaded all my pictures. For a larger store you would want to figure out how to do it programatically.

 

I'm not sure if this is related as I can't find such a line in my general.php file.

 

Any ideas how I can have the default image file permissions set to 644 as they should be?

 

I just spent the last half hour in my cPanels File Manger changing all my current image permissions. It sure will be a pain in the arse having to do that everytime I upload products/images. <_<

/admin/includes/classes/upload.php

 

	function upload($file = '', $destination = '', $permissions = '777', $extensions = '') {

Try changing the $permissions variabe there.

 

If that doesn't work I don't know.

:blush:

thanks for posting this!

i never noticed this until now (had a custom edit in admin/categories.php so all product images were fine) but all of my category images were uploading at 777 for years!
