4.7.1.1 uGoLive - what does the permissions check actually look for?
I just upgraded my dev site from 4.7.1 and ran the uGoLive checks. The folder permissions check said "Not all folder permissions are set correctly." I've been running this site without any problems, so I was wondering if anyone knows why it's telling me this. I can't find documentation for what this check actually does.
I just realised uGoLive was baked into 4.7.2 so gave it a run on a new site I put up last night. All went well apart from Folder Permissions which came back with a rather cryptic message:-
"The check '172d4043-b93e-4e1f-b410-316986c8d210' can not be automatically rectified"
What check is this and what does it mean? I need to know so I can try to fix it. Is there a possibility that the messages returned might be a bit more informative in future releases?
You are absolutely right, it's not a useful message at all! We'll look to fix this in an upcoming release.
The reason the 'Folder Permissions' check can not rectify the issue is that each web-server has different users/permissions; difficult to have a 1-solution-fits-all. Which is unfortunate.
If anyone wants to contribute to the package (which will also be bundled with the Umbraco core) ... this is an ideal task to get involved with. If not, I'm sure that Matt or I will get around to it at some point.
Hi all, First of all, let me thank he author and the contributors of uGolive. I think that is a very useful piece of code. Sorry if I resume an old thread, but I think that the argument of my question is quite similar to the thread's starter one.
I've installed Umbraco 4.9 on a shared hosting and all seems to work very well.
uGoLive, anyway, tells me that
Access to the path 'D:\vhosts\vhostname\httpdocs\00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000.tmp' is denied.
My hoster doesn't let me to assign modify permission to the folder httpdocs (i.e. the website root), for security reasons.
Can I ignore this message or it is important that the website root folder is writable by network user?
Reading this wiki page (http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/files-and-folders/permissions) seems that is not mandatory that website root folder is writable: is it correct?
Same issue. Running hosting with plesk11: Access to the path 'E:\www\vhosts\yourdomain.com\httpdocs\00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000.tmp' is denied.
For testing all permissions to full for WP IIS user?
I guess I have some more problems because of the folder permissions?

Hi Keith,
uGoLive checks if it can write a temp file to the following folders:
Source code for the check can be found here: FolderPermissionsCheck.cs
I do think it should report back which folders don't have the correct permissions - best bet would be to create an issue about it.
Cheers, Lee.

Great little utility though;)
