First of all, if this is in the wrong forum, please move to the proper one.

I'm running FUDforum 2.7.5RC2, and since yesterday our users are getting this when we try to post or PM:

Warning: fopen(/home/gamersc/FUDforum/messages/msg_30000) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/gamersc/public_html/forums/theme/default/post.php on line 1838
FATAL ERROR: could not open message store for forum id#30000

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You need to chmod the file in such a way as to allow it to be written by a web server.

chmod 666 /home/gamersc/FUDforum/messages/msg_30000 will do the trick for example.

Thanks much! That solved the problem, but we still cannot use PM - this is what we get...

Could a hack be causing this? We haven't changed anything, and all of a sudden we're having these issues.

Its not a hack.

I suspect what happened is that your ISP or you has changed permissions of all your files to your user/group from the webserver user/group. Because the forum normally keeps file permissions highly secure only the owner can access the files, which means when the owner of the files had changed, the forum which runs as the web server user lost access to those files.

Ilia:

Thanks agani for the assistance. I went ahead and CHMOD'ed the rest of the files in the "Messages" folder, and now all seems to be working. Will more of these files be created as posts are entered? If so, I might need to do something else.

There is 1 message file per forum and files/ directory where attachments are written to. I'd recommend chmoding messages/ and files/ directories in such a way as to allow the web server user write access to them.
