File Manager Permissions Error ( Other thread solution didn't work )

Permalink
When I attempt to upload an image file File Manager gives me this error message:

Upload Error:
Unable to copy file to storage directory. Please check permissions on your upload directory and ensure they can be written to by your web server.

I have checked the file permissions and everything is 0755. The PHP is not set to safe. I have other concrete5 installations on this hosting account and they are working fine. Any ideas?? i can do work arounds in the HTML of course, but I don't edit this one directly anymore, the project director does, so it kind of defeats the propose of using concrete5!

Make sure that the owner of /files, /packages and /config is the same user as the PHP user.

Create a php file with the following content:
<?php
// outputs the username that owns the running php/httpd process
// (on a system with the "whoami" executable in the path)
echo 'php is running as user: ' . exec('whoami');
?>


Then chown that user:

sudo chown userxxx /files
sudo chown userxxx /config
sudo chown userxxx /packages


If this still doesn't work, you can find more info here:

Hope this helps!
