如何给symfony权限写

Question

I have here a form that is uploading a photo. Initially I got an error because symfony couldn't create the direcotry so I created them manualy.

Now I get this error:

Unable to write in the "/home/crixi/projects/symfony/src/Acme/TestBundle/Entity/../../../../web/uploads/picture" directory 

I'm using ubuntu.

Is there any settings that I should to to assign symfony the righs to write in that folder?

Answer 1

If you are using Ubuntu, then your web user will be www-data, not apache. So that's why it wouldn't work when you changed the apache permissions. You can do this properly by doing the following:

1. sudo chgrp -R www-data /home/crixi/projects/symfony/web/uploads
2. sudo chmod -R g+rwx /home/crixi/projects/symfony/web/uploads

This will allow the web user (www-data) the proper permissions to write to your upload dir and subdirs. This is better than giving everyone write permissions because it's always good to do things right in the dev env so you don't have issues when going to prod.

OR, as @Wrikken suggests, just use chown like so:

sudo chown -R www-data /home/crixi/projects/symfony/web/uploads

It just depends how you want to manage your permissions.
