failed to open directory...

[f0rc3d]

hello, im a new newuser of netjukebox
and the following is the issue i am having when trying to update,
can anyone PLEASE HELP!

this is how i have the config.inc.php set...

my "music" directory is chmod to 777

and here is the error i am getting...

[wbartels]

I think the web server doesn't have enough privileges to access this directory.
The web server user (www-data on Ubuntu) must have read and write access to this directory!

For example give yourself (f0rc3d) and the web server read and write access:

Code: Select all

chown -R f0rc3d:www-data /music/
chmod -R 664 /music/

Or give everyone read and write access:

Code: Select all

chmod -R 666 /music/

For more info over filepermission take a look here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions

Sorry, now I see you already have used chmod 777.
Did you use the -R switch?

If you use /domains/wrath.ir/public_html/music/ you shoud set permission 777 to /domains/wrath.ir/public_html/music/ and not to /music/

[wrath]

thanks for the reply
i did not quite undrestand what do you mean,so i have to give each folder 777 permission like give /domains/ 777 /wrath.ir/777 and so on ?

I have read this post expecting to find the remedy to my issue. For you, I am sure it's old hat, but I seem to be missing. I'm using web services from 1 and 1 the server is Linux. My audio files are in http://subdomain.domain.net/data/music I have set the music folder to 644 and even 777 and I still get the error Enable write permission for directory /data/Music/
I didn't see the remedy here.
Hoping you can help!

The directory /data/Music/ uses an uppercase M and the url uses a lowercase m!

Thanks for your reply.
I corrected that issue which was caps in the config file however, I am still getting the same error now with the correct case.

You used a relative directory, but it must be the full directory!
You can find the root directory with phpinfo() and search for _SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"]

Code: Select all

_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"]	/home/project-web/netjukebox/htdocs/phpinfo.php

With the above example you should use:

Code: Select all

$cfg['media_dir'] = '/home/project-web/netjukebox/htdocs/data/music/';

Enable $cfg['php_info'] in the config file or use a one line script like:

Code: Select all

phpinfo();

or

Code: Select all

echo __DIR__;

Good luck

[adink]

ok Thanks again, I will do that

[adink]

I included the full path to the sound folder in config.ini.php now I get the error:

Enable write permission for directory /subdomain/domain.org/data/music/

I can only assume that you are talking about the phpinfo within the root dir of the netjukebox installation.
I get no such line in the script.
script follow as is

[wbartels]

1. Enable $cfg['php_info'] in the config.inc.php file.
2. Open netjukebox > Config > PHP information.
3. See previous post.
