Describe the Scenario

Hello!

I installed BookStack on Rocky Linux 9.6. All is working well. When I try to post/upload image (.png) on the new book, bookstacks shows message that no permission to do it.

The PHP-FPM is 8.4 version. I did check the php.ini

memory_limit = 512M
file_uploads = On
upload_max_filesize = 30M
max_file_uploads = 100

The path /path/bookstack/public/uploads/images have the 775 permission for user book:book on the bookstack directory

I am creating the book with admin bookstack user

Still can not post/update image (.png) inside.

Please, Somebody can help me!

Thank you

Douglas

Hello!

I solved the problem

In my scenario bookstack is instaled in:

/var/www/html/bookstack

Fix apache user permission on directory;

chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/bookstack`

Fix access permissions bookstack diretory:

chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/bookstack

Fix access permissions upload directory:

chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/bookstack/public/uploads

SELinux configuration storage directory:

chcon -R -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t /var/www/html/bookstack/storage

Upload directory:

chcon -R -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t /var/www/html/bookstack/public/uploads

To persist after reload or reboot

 semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t "/var/www/html/bookstack/storage(/.*)?"
 semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t "/var/www/html/bookstack/public/uploads(/.*)?"
 restorecon -Rv /var/www/html/bookstack/

Restart apache service (httpd):

systemctl restart httpd

After these steps you can post/copy image on new book edition.

Thank you!
