fopen failed: permission denied
May 04, 2007, 10:43:40 pm
Hi folks,
I had a difficult installation, but finally got CiviCRM 1.7 on Drupal 5.1 almost working.
I had the famous "Permission Denied in File.php on line 114" error for a while, and then changed the Upload Directories fields (as suggested in http://drupal.org/node/108489#comment-207443):

> a blank Custom Templates field to "/home/content/[...]/html/drupal/files/civicrm/templates_c/"
> Custom Files to "/home/content/[...]/html/html/drupal/modules/civicrm/crm_docs/"
> Images to "/home/content/[...]/html/drupal/modules/civicrm/persist/contribute/"
> Temporary Files to "/home/content/f/c/e/fcend/html/drupal/modules/civicrm/upload/"

Now I'm almost errorless, except at CiviCRM > Administer CiviCRM, where I get these new errors:

Code: [Select]
    * warning: fopen(/home/content/f/c/e/fcend/html/drupal/modules/civicrm/upload/latest-version-cache.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/content/f/c/e/fcend/html/drupal/modules/civicrm/CRM/Utils/VersionCheck.php on line 113.
    * warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/content/f/c/e/fcend/html/drupal/modules/civicrm/CRM/Utils/VersionCheck.php on line 114.
    * warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/content/f/c/e/fcend/html/drupal/modules/civicrm/CRM/Utils/VersionCheck.php on line 115.

Are the paths I set the upload directories to wrong, or is this a different issue?  What should the upload paths be?

Thanks in advance people.

Hi,

1) First thing you need to ensure is, drupal/files has write permission.

2) Second, all the directories crm_docs, contribute, custom, upload ..etc should be under files/civicrm directory.

And this is what we recommend in the installation guide
http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Install+CiviCRM+1.7+for+Drupal (step 2)

Hey there, I'm still getting the same warning. I've done chmod 755 to all the folders in the files directory, but to no effect. I'm new to command line. Is chmod 755 correct?

Does it really say fopen(/latest-version-cache.txt)? If so, you have your paths wrong (as it’s obvious you shouldn’t be able to write to the root directory on the server). Please check the paths in Administer CiviCRM → Global Settings → Directories.
If you found the above helpful, please consider helping us in return – you can even steer CiviCRM’s future and help us extend CiviCRM in ways useful to you.

Thanks. Not sure how, but I think an extra / at the end through everything off!

Does it mean it’s fixed now, or are you still having the above problem?
