    i have running a modx website for about a year in chequesalud.cl, but i have changed the webhosting and now i cant upload images on the system using file manager and quickedit it says i dont have permissions to create folders or upload images. and all the images in the system seems to be dissapeared but in the ftp they still are in place.

    im really worried because my client is complaining because of this error. aqnd i don t find any solution

      You’ll likely need to give the folders in question 777 permissions (or 775 or 755, depending on the way PHP runs).

        Or making sure the resource path is correctly configured in the Tools > Configuration >Interface & Features or File Manager.

          i have making this changes in every file in the server in the assets/image folder, but the filemanager and the tynimce interface keeps sayimg me that i dont have any permissions.

          all the folders are 755

            Then you’ll need to change the permissions to 777.

            Depending on your server and how PHP is being used, your php scripts run as the Apache user, but the files and folders belong to your user. That means that the scripts can’t write to them unless you give them world-writable permissions, 777.

            It also means that any files you upload through the file manager (which is a PHP script) will be owned by the Apache user, not your user, so you will have trouble dealing with them from your FTP client.
