Okay, so there isn’t a space in / and images, that’s good.

Have you ensured firewall is disabled?
[code]sudo service firewalld stop; sudo ufw disable[/code]

[Evan Knowlton]

Firewall stopped and disabled on system startup

[Tom Elliott]

Also, ensure the .mntcheck files are in place:
[code]sudo touch /images/.mntcheck
sudo touch /images/dev/.mntcheck
chmod -R 777 /images[/code]

[Evan Knowlton]

apl@Apl-Fog:~$ sudo touch /images/.mntcheck
apl@Apl-Fog:~$ sudo touch /images/dev/.mntcheck
apl@Apl-Fog:~$ chmod -R 777 /images
chmod: changing permissions of ‘/images’: Operation not permitted
chmod: changing permissions of ‘/images/dev’: Operation not permitted
chmod: changing permissions of ‘/images/dev/.mntcheck’: Operation not permitted

Dont really know how or what to do to resolve that . . . =(

[Evan Knowlton]

I want to thank you for your time and help in resolving this issue.

Unfortunately I have to get going as we are closing at the moment. I wont be back in until Monday.

Again thank you I honestly didn’t expect a response let alone one almost immediately.

[Tom Elliott]

The chmod commands probably also need the sudo command prepended to it:
[code]sudo chmod -R 777 /images[/code]

I don’t know if this will even work though considering, from what I can see, the nfs isn’t even mounting.

[Evan Knowlton]

I do not get a return when using sudo

apl@Apl-Fog:~$ sudo chmod -R 777 /images
[sudo] password for apl:

[Tom Elliott]

You need to type the apl user’s password.

[Evan Knowlton]

I cut that off early. That was just a mistake it just goes back to prompt with out a return.

apl@Apl-Fog:~$ sudo chmod -R 777 /images
[sudo] password for apl:
apl@Apl-Fog:~$

[Tom Elliott]

that’s fine.

There shouldn’t be a return, if there is it means something has gone wrong.

This post is deleted!

Just out of curiosity I recreated the upload task in the debug mode. When I list the directory from the client machine the /images directory is not visible. Is it a matter of file permissions / sharing ?

[Evan Knowlton]

For give me if this is a stupid question. But I finally got the permissions issue sorted out. I can open the /images folder now.

Here is the stupid part of the question, and believe me I do feel stupid.

Is there supposed to be a visible file named .mntcheck?

As you can see by the screen shot the file is empty…

Again I’m very sorry if this a stupid waste of time.

[Evan Knowlton]

Okay Yes I figured out there is supposed to be a file there from another post I however do not know how to regenerate them. I tried running the installer again but that wasn’t any help

[Evan Knowlton]

I Tried this:

root@Apl-Fog:~# ls -l /images/.mntcheck
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Oct 9 19:11 /images/.mntcheck
root@Apl-Fog:~# ls -l /images/dev/.mntcheck
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Oct 8 14:03 /images/dev/.mntcheck
root@Apl-Fog:~# touch /images/.mntcheck
root@Apl-Fog:~# chmod 777 /images/.mntcheck
root@Apl-Fog:~# touch /images/dev/.mntcheck
root@Apl-Fog:~# chmod 777 /images/dev/.mntcheck

However the directory is still empty

I’m only going on a limb and guessing you’re fairly new to the linux world?

Files that begin with a . are “hidden” from the filesystem. This would be why you’re seeing “contents: nothing”.

When you’re running the chmod commands I’d recommend using with the -R argument.

The reason is because chmod 777 <file/foldername> only affects the individual item.

chmod -R 777 <folder> means to set the persmissions recursively which is what you need.

[Albatros]

To see hidden files, change your command ‘ls -l’ to ‘ls -la’.

Edit: If you want to see hidden files/folders over the file manager, press ctrl + h.
