I posted this on the OS X Talk list first, but haven't gotten a solution yet.
I have a remote server (FreeBSD, apache 2.2.11_7) with a wordpress (current)
install. The permissions on the main root folder for the install are:
$ ls -lsa
total 92
2 drwxr-xr-x 7 www wheel 512 Nov 22 13:20 .
2 drwxr-xr-x 35 root wheel 1024 Nov 19 06:53 ..
2 drwxr-xr-x 2 www wheel 512 Nov 11 17:09 html
2 drwxr-xr-x 5 www www 1024 Nov 14 13:13 wordpress
inside the wordpress folder there is a theme folder with the following
permissions:
$ ls -lsd wordpress/wp-content/themes/autumn-forest/imgs/
2 drwxr-xr-x 2 www www 512 Nov 22 05:59
wordpress/wp-content/themes/autumn-forest/imgs/
All the folders under the 'root' for the domain have the same permissions.
When I mount the root of the user on OS X via webDAV, I am able to copy files
into the root folder or the html folder, but not into the wordpress folder, or
into the imgs folder where they are supposed to go. (this is evidently how you
add/change sidebar images in WP themes).
The only .htaccess is the one created by wordpress in the wordpress folder.
<<EOF
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^u/([0-9]+)$ wp-content/plugins/short-url-plugin/u.php?$1|$2
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
# BEGIN WordPress
# END WordPress
# BEGIN WordPress
# END WordPress
EOF
When I try to copy a file into the wordpress folder, I get an OS X auth dialog
asking for an admin user/password. If I type in my local machine's admin info,
I then get "One or more items can't be copied to 'wordpress' because you don't
have permission to read them. Do you want to copy the items you are allowed to
read?" If I try to copy from the command line I get:
$ cp ~/Desktop/sidephoto.jpg wordpress/wp-content/themes/autumn-forest/imgs/
cp: wordpress/wp-content/themes/autumn-forest/imgs/sidephoto.jpg: Operation not
permitted
(which is not a Permission denied error, which is one gets when there's a
permission issue)
in httpd/user/example.conf I have
<virtualhost *>
ServerName webdav.example.com
DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/example.com/
DavLockDB /tmp/DavLock.example
<location />
DAV On
AuthType Basic
AuthName example
AuthUserFile /usr/local/www/example.com/.htdavpass
Options All
ForceType text/plain
<Limit PUT POST DELETE PROPFIND PROPPATCH MKCOL COPY MOVE LOCK UNLOCK>
require valid-user
</limit>
</location>
</VirtualHost>
<Directory "/usr/local/www/example/wordpress/">
#AllowOverride All
Options -ExecCGI +Includes
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
If I remove/rename the .htaccess file, then I can copy via webDAV as much as I
want.
