[Midas] Changing the assetstore in Midas

[Samira]

Great! That worked. I just umounted the folder and mounted it again and
added "uid=www-data, gid=www-data".

Thank you so much

Hmmm, yeah, those ownership values look strange, with the numeric owners and
groups.

 

I tried to reproduce your use case, mounting a cifs network share and using
that as an assetstore.  I was able to get it to work, but you might have
trouble because you will be using different authentication mechanism,
hopefully this will get you close.

 

Here is my setup:

 

-a network share at //networkserver/share

-a folder under that share at //networksever/share/mgrauer/temp

-created a folder on my local machine at /mnt/networkshare/temp

-changed ownership of that local folder to the www-data user and group

 

sudo chown www-data:www-data /mnt/networkshare/temp

 

-mounted the network share folder to the local folder, (I can mount that
share without my username, hence the "guest"), and the uid and gid of
www-data (the apache user on ubuntu)

 

sudo mount -t cifs //networkserver/share /mnt/networkshare/temp -o
"username=guest,uid=www-data,gid=www-data,noauto,umask=002,file_mode=0775,di
r_mode=0775,rw"

 

now when I do 

 

ls -latr /mnt/networkshare/temp

 

I can see the mgrauer folder (from //networkserver/share/mgrauer) and it is
owned by www-data:www-data

 

I then added this local path as an assetstore and set this assetstore as the
default, and was able to upload to Midas and have my files saved and
folders/subfolders created.

 

assetstorepath = /mnt/networkshare/temp/mgrauer/temp

 

I hope this gives you some insight into your setup.

 

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Mike,

 

Yes, exactly, I meant what you said. When I mounted the midas folder, I
couldn't change the ownership to apache user due to the permission problem.
As I knew if you change the ownership before mounting a folder it will work.
But it seems that in that case it doesn't work. I attached a screenshot of
the ls -al and mount command.

 

Thank you so much

Samira

Hi Samira,

 

When you say the first and second folder, do you mean /mnt/midas/2c for the
first and /mnt/midas/2c/b0 for the second, or something else?

 

Can you tell me the results of these command lines (I'm looking for the
ownership, group, and permissions) on your linux web server machine:

 

ls -la /mnt

ls -la /mnt/midas

ls -la /mnt/midas/2c

Also, can you tell me the result of the "mount" command, specifically the
single line where you mount to /mnt/midas?


Thanks,

Mike

Hi All, 

 

I've recently installed midas on a linux machine in our lab at UBC. I
changed the default assetstore to a mounted file system (a windows server on
the network).  But when I want to upload the data I get an error. Midas can
create the first folder successfully, but when it wants to create the second
folder the problem happens, however I can create the folder manually. it
seems that it's a permission problem because the first folder has full
permission but the second one doesn't, I attached some screenshot of the
error page and my settings. It would be great if anyone can help me to
figure it out. 

 

Thanks,

Samira
