permissions issues (again)

    10 years, 9 months ago

    I have set all(!) folders to 777, from the root to 777. I’ve checked under what user php runs under(www-data) and set all files and folders to this group. I’ve set all files and folders to my username and when that didn’t work, to www-data. Still the package fails with permissions error: but permissions are right. It also claims that I am the php script owner, which confuses me, as setting that from the console made no difference either. This was posted a month ago without resolution, and I have no way to ‘force’ it to write. I need this backup to have a supplier debug, now I need someone to debug the backup solution they need. Sigh. Any insight or alternative appreciated. Really.

  • Hey @nowton,

    Sorry you having issues with permission. If you want to force the code past the check you can. The code is in this file:

    yoursite/plugins/duplicator/classes/server.php

    Then look for this codeblock:

    //SYS-100: FILE PERMS
...
Change from this:
$req['SYS-100'] = ($test) ? 'Pass' : 'Fail';
To this:
$req['SYS-100'] = 'Pass';

    However you may still run into issues as the underlying check is a basic call to is_writeable and if it fails on those checks then the chances of PHP having issues further down in the next steps will be high.

    The FAQ has some general suggestion for permissions, but it really depends on how the server was configured, pending there can be so many different setup permutations…

    As far as the script owner its a general guide and not the process owner which is what will matter in most cases… Listing the process owner across all OS systems is a bit tricky so right now the closest option is the script owner. In future versions I hope to be able to capture the process owner.

    Hope that helps…

    Cheers~

    Hey @nowton,

    Sorry, haven’t had time to test this yet and had to resort to alternative means of getting the data to the developers. Will mark this as resolved for now, thanks.

    Thanks for the update!
