Can't Edit Exisiting Snapins or Create New ones

[JJ Fullmer]

On the latest revision 6096, as well as the one this morning (6094 I believe, I noticed the problem and updated before posting)
When I try to edit a snapin or create a new one it goes to a blank white page in firefox.
In chrome it gives a 500 error saying the system might be down for maintenance.

Apache error logs right after the white page is displayed.

[Mon Jan 25 12:30:49.536526 2016] [:error] [pid 24884] [client 192.168.100.108:61538] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘Exception’ with message 'FOGFTP: Failed to connect. Host: 192.168.100.100, Error: Undefined variable: whereA$

I couldn’t copy the whole error message from the terminal with ease, it appears to be ftp related. So I tried to ftp in only for it to not work on port 22 and on port 21 I get this message
OOPS: vsftpd: refusing to run with writable root inside chroot()

So this is a me accidentally running chmod -R 775 / instead of chmod -R 775 ./ and not cancelling it fast enough problem, not a fog problem at all.

That would do it.

I found a script to restore permissions here

It's running right now, hopefully that does the trick.

@Arrowhead-IT Well it was worth a shot but it didn’t do the trick, maybe restarting would work, I’m backing up before I try that though.

[JJ Fullmer]

@Arrowhead-IT Scratch that, it totally worked after a restart. So if you go breaking your permissions just run the script posted and restart and violia!
