Volunteer Image Upload is not Functional

[TildaDares]

When I tried to upload a profile picture to my volunteer profile, I got the following error:

Site crashed
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Please take the time to report an issue at Github so it doesn't happen again.

Text update works fine so this issue is an isolated one for just image uploads.

A screenshot of the error page is attached below:

Hey fosdemers, long time no see :). I can't fix this but I still get the errors cc-d so can provide a clue:

Exception Type: PermissionError at /volunteers/[redacted]/edit/ Exception Value: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '[path prefix redacted]/fosdem_volunteers/tool/public/media/mugshots/[redacted].jpg'

Check the directory permissions of the above mugshots dir :).

I believe I fixed the permissions on that dir. I do am quite suprised that mails are sent on errors, never knew about that feature.

Note that some stuff is not yet correct on the volunteers site, especially anything regarding pentabarf should be ignored, as we are using pretalx this year.

Ok I updated mine successfully. @TildaDares let us know if it's working for you now :).

Are... are you back, @emanuil-tolev ?

Ok so it's actually sending to the volunteer-admin list of which I'm still a member I guess. I can't find the setting in the (public at least) config tho.

I can update my profile picture now. Thanks!

(You aren't on that list any more.)

You were listed in one of the config files though - I've updated this.
