Permissions Error since WP and Plugin Upgrade

Hello,

I’ve the same problem on my local hosted wordpress blog on Fedora 17.
Wordpress version: 3.4.2
NextGEN Gallery version: 1.9.10
PHP version: 5.4.9
Apache version: 2.2.22-4.fc17

The httpd is running with the apache user

I’ve made the following changes to /usr/share/wordpress and all files and subfolders in order to resolve the problem:

chown -R apache: *
chmod -R 777 *

but the problem remains: I can’t be able to add new galleries.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Massimo

I have a different but similar problem, can you please enlighten how this problem has been resolved?

Mine is a fail 99 ‘Insufficient permissions. Method requires read privileges; none granted problem, at drop down menu in new post.

In my case, it really did boil down to a permissions issue. I have a custom group set so that I can give read and write permissions en masse. However, somehow the Apache and FTP users were removed. So, I readded them, restarted Apache, and problem solved!

If you switch over to the Apache user in the command line, can you create files and directories?

Hi FoxBJK,

I logged in using apache user and I’m able to create files and folder into /usr/share/wordpress/wp-content/gallery/ (my wordpress installation is located in /usr/share/wordpress)

Hi,

I checked into /var/log/httpd/error_log and when I try to create the gallery I got the following error logs:

Ok….. those are some pretty strange errors to get when you’re trying to create a gallery. At this point I’m purely guessing, but out of curiosity what happens when you run a config check on your httpd.conf file?

service httpd configtest
service httpd fullstatus may help too, but like I said, I have no clue what your issue is
