Patrick:
I'm not sure that a PHP configuration change alone can explain the
entire issue. It would help to know the ownerships for files created
before the change versus the ownerships of the files being created
after the change -- I suspect that the userid also changed in
the process somewhere.
The ownership of all files and directories on the site (including all
subdomain directories) reflects the userid of the most recent ftp
account that I set up (sic!). Cpanel environment.
File permissions: before: 644; after: 666
Were the directories really 755 permissions (as opposed to
775) before the upgrade occurred?
Yes
If the directories were 755
and the files created by PmWiki were 644, that would imply that
previous PmWiki (and PHP) were running under your userid instead
of the "nobody" or "www" user.
Anyway, based on your description it looks like the PHP user may
have changed somehow... but it's still odd.
Is that the User/Group under Apache in phpinfo? I take it that the
current setting (nobody(99)/99 is more usual? And the PmWiki advice of
2755 permission settings would apply?
If useful, you can see the php
configuration at dufferinpark.ca/phpinfo.php.
Actually, that page says you're running 5.0.5, not 5.2.1 .
That's even more bizarre! I hadn't noticed. They must have rolled back.
All of this gets down to a question of file and directory ownerships --
which is why it's important to know the before/after to be able
to say what might have happened or changed.
Pm
Thanks for your help.
