3 things vBulletin developers can learn from Wordpress
Attachment disappeared!


Something strange happened at my forum today, one of the member had uploaded two photographs as attachments and initially they were viewable in the post, however later on they just disappeared!

Attachments in my forum are stored in file system so I went ahead and scanned the folder for the both attachment ids and there was nothing there, nothing at all in the server logs!

Does any one have an idea how this could have happened?

Re: Attachment disappeared!


Actually it was the user who complained that the attachment isn't showing and there wasn't any moderator online today and I have checked the moderator log just to confirm it as well.

Make sure you still have space on your web hosting account, I know mine won't let me create or save files if I'm at the limit.

Re: Attachment disappeared!


I am not even using half the available space on the server.

Contacted my host, they said that attachment folder ownership was messed up and was coming as nobody so they changed it to account. Not really sure what that means and how it could have happened, any one care to explain it in simple terms?

This might help explain it:
UNIX File Permissions Tutorial
(or confuse you even more)

Basically, kinda like having file permissions in Unix, you can also have different groups "own" the file.

Re: Attachment disappeared!


It was probably just a chmod got somehow messed up or changed and it was changed not no viewing and therefore the content of that folder on your server went "poof"

Re: Attachment disappeared!


Like earlier, nothing turned up. This is getting so frustrating, even though it has only happened twice. Any one has an idea as to why this might be happening?
