1.6 Update Image issue
 

Further to a post I made earlier (in the wrong forum), I am having difficulty with the following...

On an upgrade from 1.5 to 1.6 when attempting to update image info in the admin section I get an error 403 saying:

You don't have permission to access /blog1/admin/index.php on this server.

So I tried a fresh install, using new tables in the same database, same error. I can add new images, but not update ones that are there. (nor the one I just added)

So I replaced my 1.6 folder with my 1.5 and all works again now.

Is this a known issue on some setups? I should have access without any issue.

hi!

what is this:

Server Software NOYB

that is something I do not know...

I just can say that I did not run into these calamities when updating...

Error 403
You don't have permission to access /blog1/admin/index.php on this server.

Means exactly that. You don't have permission.

Go to the admin folder, and make sure the permissions are set to something like 0755. Once that is done, you should be able to access the page.

Connie, NOYB means None of Your Business (or bidness depending on where you're from). It means Apache has been configured to not tell everyone what version of the web server is running. Google mod_security or SecServerSignature.

dagkwegmo,

thanks for the explanation!
That sounds useful .... didn't know about that possibility

Hmmm
 

I figured it should be that simple, but I changed the permissions but that still did not work. I realy don't inderstand what the issue is, since I have set the permissions up exactly as they were for 1.5 :-(

Do you know why PP is trying to access the admin index from the /blog1/ directory if your blog is installed on the /blog/ directory? Or why PP thinks the URL is /blog_nic/

I'd check the database and make sure the paths are correct.

Sorry
 

The info supplied is from 2 different blogs... sorry to be misleading on that... I pasted the wrong info, the database is looking at the correct place, I get the error across the two test installs - 1 upgrade and 1 from scratch.

My 1.5 is now working, the upgrade should not have touched permissions on any folder as far as i can tell as I never changed permissions on any from the original install months ago, apart from images and thumbs - neither of which I touched this time.
