[cobalt-users] netpbm strangeness [Raq4]

[Shaun Johnston <shaun@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all

I have a mysterious problem - I have set up an administration area for a 
client which incorporates image uploads, and uses php / netpbm 
(http://netpbm.sourceforge.net/) to resize / thumbnail the uploaded 
images. 

Recently the client has had some trouble with the image upload area. 
I've done some playing around, and found if I run the chained set of 
netpbm commands I normally run from php, as the user httpd (which is the 
user php runs commands as), it spits out a 'quota exceeded' error 
(strange because no quota is set for httpd). Strangely enough, if I 
reboot the RaQ4 the error goes away, but appears again after a few 
days.  I am assuming the 'quota exceeded' error is being applied to the 
httpd user as opposed to the client's user / group, because the group is 
using 15mb of a 500mb allocation, and the user is using the same.  All 
of the previously generated images are marked as being owned by httpd, 
and the client's group.

Would anybody have an inkling of what the problem here could be? I can 
provide the php code and the netpbm commands if they are any help.

Thanks a lot,

Shaun
