I don't know if this is an Apache (httpd) or a PHP issue (I suspect

anyone can offer!
I am trying to get a PHP script to read a file that's outside the
DocumentRoot of a VirtualHost, in fact well outside the parent
directory of all of my virtual hosts.
I have successfully managed to get Apache httpd to run the script
as the correct user and group (matching the target file's
ownership) using SuexecUserGroup. I tested this by having the
script create/write a test file, which had owner and group set
correctly.
However, when I run the script, at the file(/path/to/target/file)
command, PHP tells me it can't open the file - permission is denied.
In php.ini safe_mode is off and open_basedir is not set.
I am not sure where else to look for a solution - any help is very
much appreciated!
FYI: PHP 5.2.6, Apache httpd 2.2.11, mod_ssl/2.2.11, OpenSSL/0.9.7l
on Mac OS/X 10.5.5. I'm reaching the script over an SSL (https)
connection if that matters).
Thanks!
do what it takes to make it work (ie chmod 777 or similar) then put
things back to how they presently are one by one to find the cause
of the error. :)
Nathan: Thanks for your suggestion - a good debugging step - but the
permissions on the file I want the script to read have been -rw-rw-rw-
the entire time.
This leads me to suspect that the issue is not the permissions
themselves, but rather something about my PHP configuration or script
(or, possibly, as I noted, my Apache httpd configuration) that is
causing PHP to report a permission error on reading the file.
I don't know where else to look for this issue, so I hope that someone
has at least some pointers or suggestions on what might be happening
here.
Thank you very much for any help!
