Problems with rights and/or paths
Posted: Sat Sep 17, 2016 5:47 pm
Please accept my apologies for sort-of-crossposting, I have posted part of this problem in the German forum, too, but since, the trouble gets worse.
All info below refers to the site http://www.ev-ref-gladbeck.de.
I have installed s9y in a subdirectory under my main domain-directory. After installing, which went smooth, I have made some minor customization and posted first content, then changed the domain to point to the subdirectory directly (knowing that I would have to change some paths in s9y).
Well, this of course didn't work. No problem, I thought, I just reverse the process, have the domain pointing to the higher directory again, change paths first and then switch back again.
First, this didn't work either (file permissions were changed, I do not know how, I certainly did not do it (directly) myself), but after changing the path in htaccess and changing all paths visible to me (except for the absolute path to the installation directory, which refers to the server file system), MOST things work.
But I very often get error messages:
when trying to read the attributes of a file in the media database:
Fatal error: Uncaught --> Smarty: unable to write file /www/htdocs/w0148454/ev-ref-gladbeck.de/serendipity/templates_c/next/0c/d0/a9/wrt57dd641e34b1e7_10988179 <-- thrown in /www/htdocs/w0148454/ev-ref-gladbeck.de/serendipity/bundled-libs/Smarty/libs/sysplugins/smarty_internal_write_file.php on line 46
when using the search in the frontend:
Fatal error: Uncaught --> Smarty: unable to write file /www/htdocs/w0148454/ev-ref-gladbeck.de/serendipity/templates_c/next/1c/78/c8/wrt57dd6441c4c517_52593471 <-- thrown in /www/htdocs/w0148454/ev-ref-gladbeck.de/serendipity/bundled-libs/Smarty/libs/sysplugins/smarty_internal_write_file.php on line 46
and so on
If you have any idea what to do, even a reinstall that doesn't make me lose my data so far, please let me know.
Maybe I could install "over" the present install, would that fix the permissions? Any way to force that?
I do not have the guts to do a recursive chmod 777 (which would not help anyway if there ist a path problem, too)
