Idea Attachments don't show

Hi Guys - I love Kunena and it works great! (or so I thought) until we tried to attack some files. It looks like the message & file attachment work but the message has no attachment.

I checked permissions and settings that I thought would effect this but obviously, I'm missing something. Help please?

Thanks - Configuration settings below.

Note: I just noticed in my config that I used . not , to separate the file types. I changed that, cleared cache etc and it didn't help.

You said that you fixed doc.docx.txt?

What happens when you attach an attachment? Do you see any errors after posting the message?

No, no error messages. I finally realized it isn't Kunena at all.

If anyone has this problem check the wheel. (userid UID and group ID GID) settings. If those aren't correct on the base system (which can happen pretty easily if you are a subdomain)& nothing works without being at 777.

I set the upload dir to 777 and it worked, so I knew it was my own permissions.

FYI: For anyone else who has this issue. the command to change these settings recursively is...

chown -R UID:GID <files> or <*> (username and group name do the trick)

thanks for the reply,

Satchi

Actually CHMOD to 0777 that's something you should never do (raises some security concerns)..

It's better to sudo into root and then change the ownership to you and group to apache (group name varies from system to system). Then you should allow write access to both user and group, but deny it from others. That's what you did above in your message.
