Site Error - Uploading images not possible

1

Hi,

there seems to be a problem while uploading an image to the site.

Error uploading file. Please contact the site administrator. Thank you. [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/web/ask.wireshark.org/osqa/forum/upfiles/Capture_pck.jpg'

Thanks for fixing it!

UPDATE: Filed Bug https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8444

UPDATE#2: Test upload. If you see an image, it works....

Test Upload JPEG
Test Upload PNG

UPDATE#3: Unfortunately no image is visible, hence it still does not work.

UPDATE#4: it works again, see images above.

Regards
Kurt

it is still not possible to upload an image. Is this intentional?

I'm sorry, but it still does not work. I can now upload an image, but it is neither shown as 'embedded' image nor can I access the link directly. See my update in the question. The linked image is not available:

https://osqa-ask.wireshark.org/upfiles/solved.jpg
https://osqa-ask.wireshark.org/upfiles/solved.png

The file is there as you can see when accessing the path /upfiles ( https://osqa-ask.wireshark.org/upfiles/ ), but access to the file is restricted.

BTW: Maybe it's better to disable directory browsing for the path /upfiles, you never know who is going to misuse the site for 'whatever'.

Regards
Kurt

OSQA was setting invalid permissions on newly-uploaded files. I fixed that part of the configuration and reset the permissions on the contents of upfiles/. I also disabled browsing as you suggested. Thanks!
