I have PHP FastCGI or FPM mode enabled, but uploaded files are still not readable Print

  • 1

Problem Description

If you've already switched your PHP run-mode to FastCGI and uploaded files are still not accessible to your application, then this can be caused by one of three things:

  1. You were previously using PHP as an Apache Module and the existing files have not yet been changed to your user account's ownership.
  2. Your web application is configured to upload files at a lower permissions level than it should
  3. Your application's permissions are lower than those required of the files it is uploading

Problem Resolution

  1. Please open a support request to have us take care of this for you.
  2. Check your application's configuration to ensure it is set to change the permissions of the uploaded files to a level that matches what you need.
  3. Check the permissions of the file that is doing the uploading. If you have set them to 644 but the uploaded files require a higher permissions level, then it will not be allowed to set them for security reasons - you will need to up the permissions of the PHP file to match before it will function as you expect.
