I am getting:
access denied 04/30/2013 - 16:56 sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/KRIS... admin
in my error message log when trying to do some file updating. I am guessing this is a permissions problem, but i am running on a local server. How do I change permissions in drupal for access to read/write to the files folder on a mac in terminal?
Drupal.org has a great guide on permissions.
The TLDR; version.
You can change permissions by opening up your terminal and perform the following commmand:
(sudo) chmod <mode> <path>.
For more information about chmod, check the manpage. Or just perform:
chmod --help
Problem was $conf['image_allow_insecure_derivatives'] = TRUE; in the settings.php file. An update from drupal 7.20.
you should give permissions to it using
sudo chmod 777 sites/all/default/files
This would remove the problem of permissions and would give rights for read, write and execute permission to the files folder.
