Java Issues-Permissions Denied-Plesk12.0

[SamirM]

Hi,
i run a VPS with CentOS 7.1 and Plesk 12.0.18 and tomcat 7.0, am having issues with permissions even though all permissions have been enabled. The site runs a page for sellers to add their profile and product images, and when they upload the images, the following error is reported:

type Exception report

message java.io.FileNotFoundException: /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/uploads (Permission denied)

description The server encountered an internal error that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

note The full stack trace of the root cause is available in the Apache Tomcat/7.0.54 logs.

the uploads folder has the following permissions : rwx-rwx-rw
the java code for the uploads is :

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.util.List;

maxFileSize = 1024 * 1024 * 10, // 10MB

public class Upload extends HttpServlet {

/**

* web application directory.
*/
private static final String SAVE_DIR = "domain.com/uploads/buyer_profile_photos/";

/**

*/
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
// gets absolute path of the web application
// constructs path of the directory to save uploaded file

File fileSaveDir = new File(SAVE_DIR);
if (!fileSaveDir.exists()) {
fileSaveDir.mkdir();
}

for (Part part : request.getParts()) {
String fileName = extractFileName(part);
part.write(savePath + File.separator + fileName);
}
PrintWriter printWriter = response.getWriter();
printWriter.print(request.getServletContext().getRealPath(""));

}

/**
* Extracts file name from HTTP header content-disposition
*/
private String extractFileName(Part part) {
String contentDisp = part.getHeader("content-disposition");
String[] items = contentDisp.split(";");
for (String s : items) {
if (s.trim().startsWith("filename")) {
return s.substring(s.indexOf("=") + 2, s.length() - 1);
}
}
return "";
}
}

can anyone help in identifying the cause of this error

thanks\

Hi SamirM,

the uploads folder has the following permissions : rwx-rwx-rw

Just try to use "777" ( rwx-rwx-rwx ) for the folders with upload - rights and consider reading a linux documentation as for example: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions for more informations on this behalf.

Thnx UFHH01, i have enabled "777" permissions to the folder, but i still get the same error.....any suggestions

hi UFHH01, any suggestions????

Hi SamirM,

would you tell us, which user and group owns the folder(s) ?

 

[SamirM]

i got this one sorted, apparently it was a SELINUX issue which was enabled, made it permissive and it started working, thnx UFHH01
