Permissions issue on generated forms?

[Poynton]

Hi.

Im using CE6 and am having an issue that I need a quick fix to!

I'm using the web to lead form generator and getting to the point of saving the form fine.

On trying to save the form my server throws a permission denied error. both cache and the generated_forms folder have permissions set to 775.

I've tried 777

it doesn't work.

Are there permissions that need to be set elsewhere i'm missing? Any thoughts gratefully received!

Changing the permissions to 777 might not be enough make sure that the group ownership and user ownership of the file or folder is set properly usually to the username of the hosting account. If you are able to access the webserver via ssh you may do so very easily.

I had an issue before where the file permissions were 777 but the file was owned by nobody and the group permissions were set to nobody. Once I logged as the root user for that server and changed the group and user permissions it all worked.

Example: You can use the following command if you are logged in via SSH to update the user and group permissions.

chown -R yourusername cache
chgrp -R yourusername cache

Hi

Thanks for this. The permissions were not the prioblem in the end, I had set them correctly.

The error was due to a server/ hosting issue with the server seeing the form insertion as a potentila php injection attack, and killing it!
