Hi,
I am getting the attached error when I try to add a cover image to my bookstack instance.
I'm running v21.05.3 on ubuntu 21.04.

I get the same error when I try a different image and when I try a different Book or Shelf.

Are you able to point me in the right direction as to what might be the issue please?

Thanks,
Andrew

Hi @ShowMeIT,
Have you check file/folder permissions for the target location, as indicated in the error message?

Let me know if you'd need further assistance to check that or to know how to address. I'll just need to know what webserver you're using.

@ShowMeIT The below commands should update permissions so that Apache has the right permissions:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/bookstack/storage /var/www/bookstack/public/uploads /var/www/bookstack/bootstrap/cache
