Upgrade not working due to Permissions

Hello/Hi/Greetings,

I just tried to upgrade to the latest version but it seems all files are not writable.  What should the file permissions look like?

Here's an example:

-rw-r--r--  1 web4 client0  1823 Mar 26  2020 about.php
-rw-r--r--  1 web4 client0  5723 Mar 26  2020 action.php
drwxr-xr-x  4 web4 client0  4096 Mar 26  2020 admin
-rw-r--r--  1 web4 client0 10567 Mar 26  2020 admin.php
-rw-r--r--  1 web4 client0 15758 Mar 26  2020 comments.php
-rw-r--r--  1 web4 client0   467 Mar 26  2020 COPYING.txt

I'm running nginx which runs as user: www-data

Also, the database dump fails due to permissions too. Not sure why but I can address that later.

Re: Upgrade not working due to Permissions

Temporarily for the upgrade (or any modification of the installation) recursively add write permissions for others

chmod -R o+w photos

and after the upgrade remove it again but make sure to keep at least _data and upload writeable (and local config to be able to make changes there), so

chmod -R o-w photos
chmod -R o+w photos/{_data,upload,local}


Instead, you can also unpack the piwigo zip as user web4 and make sure you have the mentioned directories writeable for the web server, which leaves a cleaner ownership as updating from the web frontend may leave an ownership of www-data for the newly created files, making further updates without going through the web frontend problematic unless you can become root and can adjust permissions or ownerships.
