We recently enabled and assigned layout editing. However, we are no longer able to upload galley files. Previously the editors could upload files. Now we get a 404 forbidden error page. Something with permissions? I've searched the support archives and found references to permissions issues, but no details on what files to look at and what level to assign.
TIA ... soj

Hi Soj,
That's odd -- a 404 error page is a web server error, implying that the browser tried to go to a page that's not allowed. Could you send us a sample URL (e.g. changing your server name if it's not public) to the page that gives you the error?
Are you using OJS 2.1.0-1?

Hi Soj,
OJS itself never returns a 403, so I'm inclined to think that something more specific should appear in your PHP or web server error logs; alternately, try temporarily adding this to the top of your index.php:
My best guess is that this was caused by a recent change in web server configuration.

ini_set('display_errors', E_ALL);

When I disable Layout Editing, I am able to upload files again as the editor.
I've turned on Apache error logging on my server but it may take up to 24 hours to be activated. ITMT, I'll try your suggestion.

Well, it's working now. Maybe it was a temporary server glitch. I made sure the files directory was writeable and that's all. Thanks for your time and sorry to have puzzled you with this one. soj

Hi Soj,
Glad to hear it's working -- if you do manage to shed some light on what happened, please post the details here in case someone else runs into the same situation.
