Hi @latticescipub

Could you please have a look into this thread to check whether it might have a solution for your issue?

Best,
Israel

Dear Israel,
Thanks for your reply. I hope you are well and healthy.
It is already verified and checked. Still, I am getting error.

asmecher · July 13, 2023, 2:22pm

Hi @latticescipub,

That is a dangerous configuration! Your files directory should not be inside your web root. See the note on that configuration option.

pl help for solution

latticescipub · July 14, 2023, 1:33pm

The files directory is outside of the web root and rewritable (777) permitted. Also files sub directory usageStats is rewritable (777) permitted.

mpbraendle · July 14, 2023, 2:15pm

It may also be related to ClamAV, if you have installed/enabled this plugin. See Slim Application Error when uploading a file in submission page OJS 3.3.0.10

asmecher · July 14, 2023, 7:30pm

Hi @latticescipub,

I suspect the path you’re using is still not writable by PHP. You might also have to consider the permissions in parent directories. The details will depend on your server, so unfortunately it’s hard for us to give specific directions. You might check a few other posts on the forum:

Some of those posts suggest putting a PHP test script to check file permissions on your server, outside of OJS. This is probably the best way to confirm whether or not your file permissions are set to permit PHP to work with the directory you’ve created.

Note that 777 permissions are never safe to use, so be careful not to leave them that way.

latticescipub · July 17, 2023, 1:32pm

Thanks, ClamAV is already uninstalled.

latticescipub · July 17, 2023, 1:33pm

Dear Alec Smecher,
Thanks and appreciate for your prompt reply.
As per your suggestion, my files folder and others are already set re-writable as per the Linux terminal command.

But still, my problem is the same and did not resolve.I am using Linux CentOS.
Please help me to resolve this problem. Have to add any PhP code in which file?. Please

Hi @latticescipub,

This means that the fileinfo PHP extension has not been installed. Installing this will depend on your server environment, but see e.g.:
