permission and delete

[paskuale75]

Hi @simialbi what are the ideal permissions to set on the upload root folder? It often happens that you try to remove folders, the system confirms with a message but in reality it is not removed from the filesystem.
thanks

[simialbi]

On what for a System are you? Unix? Windows?

[paskuale75]

Users who upload content use windows, but when I tried (with Ubuntu) to remove from the web application it made me the same joke.
thanks

[simialbi]

Which driver do you use? Local? Or FTP?

[paskuale75]

I use 'Local'

[simialbi]

then change owner to the user who run's the apache or nginx (e.g. www-data)

[paskuale75]

I gave maximum permissions (777 and www-data user)

[simialbi]

And deletion don't work? What sais the console? Any error?

[paskuale75]

It execute rm command in payload I see it, but after it re-show the folder to me.

1. violet sign is a size command
2. red sign is a open command
   

[paskuale75]

Here the 'rm' response...

I noticed a very strange thing, the folder that I can't remove contains two files, if I remove them individually it removes them regularly, but if I then try to remove the emptied folder, no it keeps repeating it...

[simialbi]

And does not remove the folder?

[paskuale75]

Not. I ask to user some details... it seems that the user (windows) creates a nested structure of folders (from windows) and then drags them into elfinder, and the folders are all systematically non-erasable...

[simialbi]

What's the owner of the directory which you're not able to delete? And with what permissions?

[paskuale75]

owner is www-data with 777 permissions (ubuntu)

[simialbi]

Strange 😒

[paskuale75]

Has elfinder ever been tested with operating systems other than linux ?

[simialbi]

Aye, should run on any OS

[simialbi]

What does the log say?

[paskuale75]

Empty folder too, has problem with delete, as soon as I click on the trash button, the folder is no longer visible, but then if I refresh or recall the container folder, the removed folder comes back to life. I checked the filesystem in reality the folder always remains there and cannot be removed. Any suggestion ? Thanks

[simialbi]

Difficult to analyze without having a look into it. Would that be possible?

[simialbi]

Ciao Pasquale

Thanks for the video. Does not really help. By having a look into it i meant the possibility to debug, see the logs, dump the responses etc.

[paskuale75]

Hi Simon, tell me how can I help you ? For understand the problem ?

[simialbi]

A direct access would be nice
