Forum OpenACS Q&A: new file storage is temporarily a mess ...

Thought I'd post this before folks get worried...

Many of you have noticed that the permissions on files were screwy in new file storage, in particular if you'd uploaded a file yourself. Vinod submitted patches for general permissions and new-file-storage to fix this problem, but the permissions in the database for http://openacs.org were already kinda messed up.

At the moment it's going to look like most files have disappeared, and you're going to be told you can't read the files you see.

Don't worry about it, I'll work on straightening this mess out today and if necessary tomorrow. Vinod's patches are fine, it just led to the current suite of files not being visible because there was previously inconsistencies on permission settings (fs_files vs. fs_versions for those of you who know the internals).
