lost image in zones

I have upgraded a box from 1.21.3 to 1.22.0 and had a power failure during the rpm upgrade process. As such half the db's were altered and half werent. Anyway i finally got it up and run and all seems great apart from i cant see an image in the zone setup. In the log i have

Mar 8 11:16:22 localhost zmu[3614]: ERR [Can't open Cam_1-Zones.jpg: Permission denied]

So im assuming i have a permission problem. But i dont know how or where to change this. Any ideas?

This is either that you don't have permissions on the images directory below /var/www/html (or equivalent) or that you have created that file as root and nowe apache is refusing to overwrite it.

You probably can use webmin but I would suggest using ssh and doing

Code: Select all

chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/zm/images

subtituing the appropriate web user and path etc. This is normally done during install so I don't know if that means that other things were not completed. I would check the other directories under your zm dir and apply the same operation.

i have checked an apache owns everything in the zm folder

Then does the Cam jpeg image already exist and if so who owns that? Also are the directories writable?
