Directory Permissions

It is very important that Media Gallery be able to write to certain directories. Generally the web server is executing the Media Gallery programs, so the web server must be able to write to the following directories:

Setting the permissions will vary from server to server and depend on how you access your server. If you have shell access, changing permissions is as simple as running the following command from the mediagallery/mediaobjects/ directory:

 chmod -R 777 *

If you use FTP to upload files to your server, you can use your FTP program to change the permissions. Below is an example of using FileZilla as the FTP program to set permissions:

• With your mouse, highlight the directory you wish to change the permissions for
• Right click and choose File Attributes
• This will open a window, select the checkbox for Read / Write for owner, group and public permissions.

You will need to repeat these steps for all the directories listed above.

If you need assistance getting the permission settings correct, check with your hosting provider's technical support or post a support message at the gl Labs website.
