Hi, I am testing it on my linux suse and freebsd and get no such problems, so maybe we need some server experts to test it on the servers where this problem occurs

Adding the 0755 permissions and permissions as parameters was necessary because of possible attacks

Jan

So, here's my confession
My site http://www.exil-web.de is running on a shared STRATO server.

I am not really an expert in server stuff

But at this point, everything ist running fine here.

this is still a bug in 2.5.3. I created folder from backend and permission were 1363 for gallery folder and thumbs folder. Only way to fix is changing folder permission via cpanel file manager.

I am using Joomla 1.5.12 on linux with standard cpanel

Hi, I have tested version 2.5.4 on the server where this problem occurs and

this function get e.g. 0755 in the $folder_permissions variable
@JFolder::create($folderThumbnail, $folder_permissions );

so it gets the following

@JFolder::create($folderThumbnail, 0755 );

but it doesn't add the 0755 ??? I have tested to check it for the integer

@JFolder::create($folderThumbnail, (int)$folder_permissions );

but then I got problems on servers where there were no problems, so the integer checking is no solution

maybe there is something in JFolder::create method what changed it, maybe there is something on the server ??? , maybe the type of the value (0777) is somehow wrong

The only way I could fix this is to unstill 2.5.4 and install 2.5.0. That fixes the folder permission problem.

Cpanel file manager works on linux? What can I do on an windows server?
I still have the problem with the "old" folders. With 2.5.3. it seems to work now (on my server from www.world4you.com)

well, anybody who tested on an upgraded joomla?

I get this
Warning: opendir(/home4/newcast7/public_html/images/phocagallery/nas-testing-693b) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: Permission denied in /home4/newcast7/public_html/libraries/joomla/filesystem/folder.php on line 423

in the back end when I look at the images page..... It isn't however causing any problems in the front end so far, is this part of the same issue you are talking about or something else entirely?

just take a look at the file attributes of the folder(s) in the images/phocagallery/ subfolder and tell us what you see

yeah 1363 but what are the implications for the site?
