Testing: Watch Folder - Error #59

Closed DocCyblade closed 7 years ago

DocCyblade commented 7 years ago

This is how it was setup:

  1. Created folder /srv/upload/import
  2. Change owner to www-data
  3. Added folder to sources area in Mayan as a Watched Folder
  4. Uploaded 50 PDF files

I get an error Error processing source: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/srv/upload/import'

Hmm, that weird?! AFAIK Django should use the www-data user account?! Have you double checked the permissions of the directory (I know you set it, but I suggest you double check)?

Also I'd check the permissions of the files themselves? Perhaps the error message is not quite as explicit as it should be?

As a crude test, you could try setting the directory and all the files to 777?! It's dirty and as a general rule I never recommend that you do that sort of thing, but it will allow you to troubleshoot whether it is actually a filesystem permissions error or something else going on...

It seems the issue was file permissions.
