My logs are being written to by root, but dragonfly is using the nobody/nogroup user on this machine. What I did (reminder to self for next time) was to momentarily set public/system to 777, delete dragonfly from there, and upload one photo (which created all the folders and subfolders with the correct ownership and permissions). Then I set public/system back to 755 and it seems to continue working correctly. Walter -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
