Problem with Permissions ???

Xoops Version 2.0.13.2

I am not sure were to post this problem so I certainly hope I am in the right place.

My website has been functional for a while. And I have not upgraded modules in a while. The wfdownloads module is version 2.04 2005/6/4 8:16.

When trying to upload a new file I now get the error:


Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /modules/wfdownloads/submit.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.


I have tried this as an user and as an admin. No luck with either.

Where do I start looking for this error?

Any assistance would be appreciated.

I would start in the administration/Wfdownloads Module general settings/preferences first. Then I would check administration/system/groups to make sure access has been granted to the module. Are you saying that it used to work and then poof it no worky no more?

Correct. Poof! And it does not work anymore.

And I had already checked the user and admin permisions and everything is set up correctly and all the checkboxes to give the correct permissions.

However, since you sugested it, I checked again the module permisions, the group permissions, etc. Access and administrative access is set up for the administrators. Everything looks correct.

I have not updated anything lately. So it might be something the host did or not. And I want to attempt to solve the issue before I say anything.

What are the correct permissions (chmod) that need to be set for the wfdownload directories?

If I know the normal setting I can go and verify that these are set correctly.

From wfdownloads 3.10_final

CHMOD the following folders to 777:

wfdownloads/images
wfdownloads/images/category
wfdownloads/images/category/thumbs
wfdownloads/images/screenshots
wfdownloads/images/screenshots/thumbs

Also make sure that the {xoops-rootdirectory}/uploads folder is set to 777.

Greetings Quest -

Thank you for your anwser. That fixed the specific problem.

I also found out that my host had upgraded the server lately to a new machine and that might have caused the problem to triger.

He also upgraded the server to PHP5 and that caused some problems with "Web Links" until I upgraded that module to the latest version.

Which might mean I need to do a bit of investigation on the latest version of wfdonwloads to see if I need to upgraded. I am kind of reluctant to upgrade what is working, since the last time I did that with wfdownloads I had to reinstall everything from scratch. And my download section has increased quite a bit since then.

Again thank you assistance. It is appreciated.
