I am using jQuery uploadify to dynamically load pictures to a website.
The files were not being loaded into the uploaded_image dir on the server
at this stage the folder had permision 755 for root:root
I then changed ownership on the folder to 755 for www-data:myuser
and the images still did not display.
Eventually, I had to change permissions to 770 for www-data:myuser before the files could be displayed.
I am not sure why it did not work when the www-data user had full permissions. I assumed that all server side php scripts were run under the www-data user.
Does anyone know why I had to grant write privileges to myuser as well before the image files could be written to the folder? (it does pose a small security risk, if the script is running as a user other than www-data on the server).
I am running Ubuntu 10.0.4 LTS
