Images upload with wrong permissions

[muddauber]

I'm using Joomla 1.0.15 with WYSIWG Pro ( have tried with other editors and have same problem)

When I upload an image, the image loads with permission 600, which results in me seeing the
FORBIDDEN message in the listing of image when trying to upload image and insert it in
an article.

I have tried all the options on the admin section on server settings, including :
Dont CHMOD new files (use server defaults)
CHMOD new files to: tooltip

I can FTP files with no problem and the permssions default to 644 for images.
I can upload images with the JoomlXplorer 1.6.0, images upload with 755.
I can also go in and change permissions easily, so it is not an ownership problem.

My host says it is a Joomla configuration problem and that there server setting
to not change anything.

This has been buggin me for months. I waste a lot of time using FTP and JoomlXplorer,
as it is much easier to upload and insert images while I'm editing articles.

Any suggestions from you gurus out there would be GREATLY appreciated.
I have this Joomla install on a FreeBSD server running Apache if that makes
any difference.

I have the same problem. All works well during Joomla installation 1.5. I can even upload images to the media library no problems. However, if install a components (no matter which) then files including images are set to CHMOD 600. The component works fine but if I want to see the component nice little icons then I need to manually change the CHMOD.
For example I installed expose4 and the installation went ok, no warning messages but all the components images were CHMOD 600. I change the permission using FTP and fix the problem as I explained the proble now is that every time I upload a picture using expose4 back-end the files keep changing the files permission, thus I can't see them on the gallery, unless I change the permission manually. Please some one help....

Didn't sleep on this one but found the solution. I am using mod_suphp since I use plesk and mod_php is cousing the problem. In order to fix it you need to change :

etc/suphp.config file
Changed unmask from 0077 to 0022

and works....

Ok, here is what I found out. The server has default settings, which usually is setup to 600. I wouldn't recommend changing that unless you know what you are doing. However, Joomla can change chmod for files and directories on creation.

Go to: Site -> Global Configuration -> Server tab. On that page you can allow Joomla to set permissions for files and folders created within Joomla. That should fix it.

I cant't find this "allow Joomla to set permissions" in joomla 1.5

Can use some editor like JCE it uploads, edits and directly adds images to your articles from your back end without needing any ftp or component access. Hope this helps.

"allow Joomla to set permissions" is not in joomla 1.5, so how do we set files to be uploaded with 644 and not 600 as it is clashing with suPHP ?

[Macer]

Any solution found on this for joomla 1.5.x?

I got this problem aswell, when I create folders via Joomla its set to 755 but when uploading images they are 600. I use latest version 1.5. bump this and see if anyone have a solution.

hi all ,

I Have Found One Answer which is After creating the folder change it permission to 0755
as
if (!file_exists('images_project')) {

mkdir('images_project', 0755);

}
chmod("images_project', 0755);

and after uploading the image you must change it's permission to 0644
as
$newimage="images_project/hanyharby.jpg";

chmod($newimage, 0644);

if there is any question don't hesitate to email me @

If I not wrong, the strings that you have writes above is not PHP, Javascript or other language programming, it's just "if else" ordinary condition, my other suggestion is try to use .htaccess file to control access permission to your site directory.
