Description:
The combination of PHP and Unix-Assumed FS Commands does not work as intended in drupal_verify_install_file on Linux-Systems where Drupal is located on a CIFS share. In these Shares (and maybe others) Filepermissions are a) not properly reflected and b) read only.

Impact:
Because these circumstances comletely mislead Drupal, Drupal reports that the sites/default path is not read only even if it is.

Solution:
Provide a setting to disable that check since implementing logic for this is just too complicated.

additionally this morning i thought about a setting that enables a "Dev-Mode for a Drupal installation" that skips specific things -OR- that activates a specific skipping configuration so that this can be disabled in the live-environment with a single setting. inside administration an informal message could be displayed that this installation is running in dev-mode.

Is this still an issue using current Drupal 6?

Status: Active » Closed (outdated)

Automatically closed because Drupal 6 is no longer supported. If the issue verifiably applies to later versions, please reopen with details and update the version.
