Good catch. This might be the problem that oxwall ftp access is not working for many (me too in that list) :)

Thanks for the reply :) . Don't you hate it when you hear those words, would of preferred it to be the usual. Me doing something dumb :)

Merry xmas and happy new year.

Sure oxwall will have it all polished soon and thanks for a great bit of software.

ps sorry to reiterate but next please release a beta just for a couple of weeks to the whole community.

>>Can I ask why and why is it forcing me to open up my security?

Oxwall creates a test folder in ow_core before uploading actual software files to check  whether given FTP user has enough rights to upload data to the server. Test folder is deleted once all files are successfully added.

I guess its my strange permissions. The ftp user has been added to the www-data group.

I don't use ftp really. The only area's where www-data has write access is the usual folders.

I guess I will have to change the file owner from root to the ftp-user instead of being done at a group level.

Thing is why write a test folder in core when nothing is going to be written there. I presume everything will be ftped to the plugin folder so why not there?

Aliia I tried to change the owner to the ftp for all file and directories.

This works with an ftp client.

Oxwall still can't access.

Looking at the logs it is due to the file path.

FAIL MKDIR: Client "127.0.0.1", "/var/www/var/www/ow_core/test"
I guess that should be /var/www/ow_core/test and not the above

Allia any update on why oxwall is trying to create a directory on /var/www/var/www/ow_core/test as it would seem the path string has doubled up /var/www

Anyone else I am on ubuntu 12.04 with apache

Anyone else getting the same in there logs?

Stuart do you mind PMing me FTP and admin panel access details?
