Hi Micahel,
First, to answer your questions:
user/group on /tmp root:root
r/w permissions on tmp : rwxrwxrwxt
Now Apache + PHP is loaded in /home/web/apache (root:root) with (rwx r-x r-x)
on all subdirectories including /htdocs where graffiti.php resides. I've
tried placing graffiti.dat in /htdocs and in /tmp, and even created a new
dierctory /home/web/apache/tmp directory. Nothing works.
Tried changing (chown -R apache:apache /home/web) and (chown -R andre:andre
/home/web) -- nothing works. [What is the problem with this setup? I've had
so much trouble with Apache and PHP!]
What permissions, user/group should Apache + PHP have? User is in Apache
group, also tried putting user in the Nobody group.
Where should I look? The error log indicate:
[Sun Feb 10 13:01:31 2002] [error] PHP Warning: fopen("/tmp/graffiti.dat",
"a+") - Permission denied in /home/web/apache/htdocs/graffiti.php on line 18
[[[ $handle = fopen ($filename, "a+"); ]]]
[Sun Feb 10 13:01:31 2002] [error] PHP Warning: Undefined variable:
graffiti in /home/web/apache/htdocs/graffiti.php on line 22
[Sun Feb 10 13:01:31 2002] [error] PHP Warning: Supplied argument is not a
valid File-Handle resource in /home/web/apache/htdocs/graffiti.php on line 22
[[[ fputs ($handle, $graffiti); ]]]
[Sun Feb 10 13:01:31 2002] [error] PHP Warning: Supplied argument is not a
valid File-Handle resource in /home/web/apache/htdocs/graffiti.php on line 25
Thanks for your advice,
Andre
