Configuration for apache on Ubuntu.
[ Assuming the project is at DocumentRoot/zipper ]
Install php-zip mod and enable it:
sudo apt-get install php-zip
sudo phpenmod zip
sudo service apache2 restart
Make sure all files are owned by the Apache group and user. In Ubuntu it is the www-data group and user:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/zipper/userUploads/
Next enable all members of the www-data group to read and write userUploads/ files:
sudo chmod -R g+rw /var/www/html/zipper/userUploads/
vi /home/ubuntu/scripts/cleanUpOldUploads.sh
#!/bin/sh
touch log.txt;
whoami >> log.txt;
find /var/www/html/zipper/userUploads -type f ! -name '.doNotDeleteMe' -mmin +1440 -exec rm -r {} \;
find /var/www/html/zipper/userUploads -type d -empty -delete;
echo " Time: $(date -Iseconds) : Run Again" >> log.txt;
chmod +x /home/ubuntu/scripts/cleanUpOldUploads.sh
crontab -e
Add this line at the end:
