[Software] Apparent Directory Corruption

[asharris]

As a normal user I copied some files to a directory (/var/www/rfq-include/tpl) but the files were not able to be opened PHP through apache.

The folder shows as:

Code: Select all

root@debian-gnu-linux-12:/var/www/rfq-include# ls -ld tpl
drwxrwxrw- 3 tony tony 4096 Mar 21 11:27 tpl
root@debian-gnu-linux-12:/var/www/rfq-include#

The files therein list as follows:

Code: Select all

root@debian-gnu-linux-12:/var/www/rfq-include# ls -l tpl
total 120

-rw-rw-rw- 1 tony tony 6198 Mar 21 11:27  testLeftNav.tpl
-rw-rw-rw- 1 tony tony 1364 Mar 21 11:27  thickboxform.tpl
root@debian-gnu-linux-12:/var/www/rfq-include#

The listing is exactly the same if I am running as myself (tony)

To be able to see what was happing as the Apache user, I edited /etc/passwd so that I could su to user 'www-data'.

As user 'www-data' the file listings look like:

Code: Select all

www-data@debian-gnu-linux-12:~/rfq-include$ ls -ld tpl
drwxrwxrw- 3 tony tony 4096 Mar 21 11:27 tpl
www-data@debian-gnu-linux-12:~/rfq-include$

Which looks fine, but listing the folder contents gives:

Code: Select all

I have seen the exact same corruption when I have copied files to an NFS mounted drive.

I am running:

Code: Select all

Linux debian-gnu-linux-12 6.1.0-18-arm64 #1 SMP Debian 6.1.76-1 (2024-02-01) aarch64 GNU/Linux

Can anyone explain what is happening?

The 'tpl' directory needs 'execute' permission ('list' for dirs) for world.

The listing is the listing.
It doesn't change depending on who you are.

[asharris]

The tpl directory already has execute permission for everyone. In my original post:

Code: Select all

root@debian-gnu-linux-12:/var/www/rfq-include# ls -ld tpl
drwxrwxrw- 3 tony tony 4096 Mar 21 11:27 tpl
root@debian-gnu-linux-12:/var/www/rfq-include#

Look closer.
