How come, that using CHMOD 777 (which is known to be a vulnerability to any server!) should solve an image-upload problem ?!
For me Image-Upload only works, when I turn off “arrange my uploads into month/year …” and make the uploads folder chmod 777
I have installed WordPress so many times over the last 3 years, and untill 2.5.x did not have problems with uploading images. Since 2.5, there are plenty, and I just refuse using CHMOD 777 for a solution.
Please, there must be something else we can do about this.
I find it hard to believe, that so many users are suddenly doing “something wrong”, and that it’s only their fault, that image-upload doesn’t work seamlessly anymore …
My setup:
OS: Linux
PHP Version 5.2.0-8+etch10
MySQL v5.0.32-Debian_7etch5-log
Apache 2.0
Module mod_secure not loaded
HTTP Request: HTTP/1.1
Browsing with:
Intel Mac OS X 10_5_3
3.1.1 Safari
P.S. … I have been looking through plenty of threads for the last 2 weeks to find a solution. I really don’t post quickly, and don’t complain about wordpress(!), I just don’t know what to do. My earlier WP-installs work fine, as long as I don’t upgrade to 2.5 … and that kinda bugs me
