Linux - Centos : Giving nginx chmod access

Question

Alright so I cannot for the life of me get rid of this error :

Warning!

ErrorException [ Warning ]: chmod(): Operation not permitted

COREPATH/classes/finder.php @ line 511:

510:    {
511:    chmod($dir.$file, \Config::get('file.chmod.files', 0666));
512:    }

Here is my setup for permissions :

(775) : drwxrwxr-x myuser:nginx

Groups :

nginx:x:499:myuser,nginx

PHP-FPM Config

user = nginx
group = nginx

So this works for creating / editing files ect. and that all works fine.

How can I get this to work correctly?

Did nginx user create this file? Try Changing ownership of the file/folder to nginx user and group. `chown nginx:nginx nameoffile` — Panama Jack, Jun 28 '13 at 17:45

As root, try:

chown nginx:nginx /your/directory/to/fuel/ -R

Also don't forget to run inside the FuelPHP directory:

php oil r install

in order to make the necessary directories of FuelPHP writable

It was because nginx had created a file, it has to be the owner.

PHP runs as www-user (or similar) - check your permissions against that.

Im running nginx php-fpm as : user = nginx group = nginx – LukePOLO Jun 28 '13 at 15:52
Try running `echo getmyuid();` – Rob W Jun 28 '13 at 15:56
Also, check your intermediary directory permissions http://blog.yourlabs.org/day/2012/03/13 – Rob W Jun 28 '13 at 15:58
So it looks like my UID is 500 ...and uid=500(myuser) gid=500(myuser).. so its running as myuser rather than nginx user? – LukePOLO Jun 28 '13 at 16:01
`exec` will run a shell, that's inaccurate for this case. – Rob W Jun 28 '13 at 16:37
I'm not 100% sure that's the best way; but I'm also not sure how to overcome this situation. Sorry! – Rob W Jun 28 '13 at 16:47

What is you full path to file you are chmod'ing ?

For example if its: /var/www/website/fuel/app/tmp/myfile.jpeg

try checking the permissions for:

ls -la /var/www/website/fuel/app/tmp/myfile.jpeg

ls -la /var/www/website/fuel/app/tmp

ls -la /var/www/website/fuel/app

ls -la /var/www/website/fuel

ls -la /var/www/website

ls -la /var/www

And compare them

If think some of parent directories are just not 'writeable by others'
