Can anyone help?

Hi @bolelligallevi,

I don’t see anything relevant to the CSS upload in the log, though I do see two separate problems:

  • PHP Warning: file_put_contents(/var/www/clients/client126/web307/web/cache/fc-pluginSettings-0-defaultthemeplugin.php): failed to open stream: Permesso negato
    This is related to file permissions in your cache directory, and
  • PHP Notice: unserialize(): Error at offset ...
    Warnings like this are probably caused by changes to your character set configuration. Data was serialized to the database using PHP’s serialize() function with one configuration, and then the configuration was changed, leading to problems when the data (now slightly different) is passed through unserialize().

The likeliest problem with the file upload is related to file permissions in the public files directory. Ensure that OMP has permission to store files there (recursively).

Hi @asmecher, thanks for your reply: the problem with the file uploading was related to permissions in the directories public | uploads | tmp.
We solved with g+rw, thank a lot for your help.

Still, we would like to better understand the unserialize warnings in the logs, because they are still there even if the permission issue is fixed.
Regarding the serialize() configuraton change, we didn’t change anything on purpose, we just applied this patch, but we did that on the test environment and file uploading is working here…
It’s only a PHP Notice, but we would like if is safe to ignore it or not.

Finally, Below is our i18N config, we don’t see problems there, can you kindly confirm?
Best regards,
Stefano

Hi @bolelligallevi,

Could you post that as a separate question? That’ll help keep the forum organized by topic.
