newbie to DA

[PSD]

Hi all
Am real newbie to DA and to a un-managed server!, always had a managed service.

My new un-managed server is
Dell CS24-SC - Intel Dual Xeon L5420
OS: CentOS 5.x Version: 64-bit
CP: DirectAdmin with Softaculous
16 GB RAM
HD 1 TB SATA

I have now managed to setup all three of my websites with help from searching DA forum user posts, all sites seem to resolve ok running…Q

But one of my sites is php/database driven and I have problem with a htaccess file in a image folder were users can upload images

htaccess Code:

Options -Indexes
Options –ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .php .php3 .php4 .phtml .pl .py .jsp .asp .htm .shtml .sh .cgi
<Files ^(*.jpeg|*.jpg|*.png|*.gif|*.bmp)>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Files>

At the moment this code blocks all my images, if I remove htaccess file from folder all my images are seen again?

Do I need to add Apache Handler to the users control panel for it to work??
Any help would be greatly Appreciated Thanks.

why the hell are you putting cgi-script handler on all those file extensions. You definately have alot wrong in there.

You need to use filesmatch

Is the software on the new server EXACTLY the same as on the old server? For example, if you have a newer php version, some things might not work as expected.
Is your website application up to date?
Modern CMS and web applications allow users to upload images without the need of htaccess files.

Hi Themis Yes the script was copied exactly but the php versions are different
OLD SERVER PHP Version 5.3.21
NEW SERVER PHP Version 5.3.23

some settings are different??

I turned on debug while uploading an image through my classified script
error was <!-- 0 - Permission error; can not copy -->
if I change the folder Permission to 777 it works OK

any help thanks...
