I have a simple app that allows users to upload image files to the web
server. It works fine on my laptop with Webrick, when I deploy to the
web server it also works fine with webrick. However, when I try to
connect via Apache, the files get uploaded to the /tmp directory, but
the never make it to the correct directory within the application (/
public/images/photos). I am sure that this is some permissions
problem with the Apache user (Apache runs as user:nobody,
group:nobody) but it appears that all of the correct permissions are
in place. Here are the permissions on the photos directory:
drwxrwxr-x 2 jzw nobody 4096 Jun 13 15:18 photos/
And here is the error:
Errno::EACCES (Permission denied - public/images/photos/28-full.jpg):
