Re: [PHP] phpinfo returns a permission error
So, what does this say: $umask It says: 0022 and this: $ ls -l /home/dave/web_sites/phpinfo.php It says: -rw--- 1 dave dave 20 2006-02-13 22:45 /home/dave/web_sites/phpinfo.php and are you using the browser to view the file via a server (e.g., the browser address bar says http://;), Yes. I view it via localhost, within FireFox. Is PHP running as mod_php in apache, or CGI? I'm not sure. I don't know how to answer this. Finally, can you view other files in the same directory via similar means? Yes. I have three different web sites that I test here on my local machine, all of which use PHP extensively. In fact, exclusively. And they all execute and display PHP pages without any error. This phpinfo.php script is the first ever page that I've had any kind of issue with. -- Dave M G -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

PHP/Apache are probably running as nobody, daemon, www, or somesuch, and the permissions on the file above only allow the user dave to read (and write to) this file. Try: $ chmod 644 /home/dave/web_sites/phpinfo.php and see if you can read the file. In addition, do some checking on your umask, or try and remember how you created this file. A umask of 22 should produce -rw-r--r--: [624] Tue 14.Feb.2006 16:15:58 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/daleco/software/Windows] umask 22 [625] Tue 14.Feb.2006 16:17:00 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/daleco/software/Windows] touch foobar ls -l foobar -rw-r--r-- 1 kadmin wheel 0 Feb 14 16:17 foobar but obviously, yours did not. 022 is the default umask for most shells. Seems likely that you were running your editor/IDE/whatnot setuid root, perhaps?

[PHP] phpinfo returns a permission error
PHP list, I wanted to adjust my register global settings in my php.ini file. I found instructions on this page: http://www.dmcinsights.com/phpmysql/phpini.php The first thing it says to do is take a look at the results of phpinfo(); to see where the php.ini file actually is. So I created a phpinfo.php file, put in the following code: ?php phpinfo(); ? ... and then accessed it through FireFox at localhost. To my surprise, I got the following error message: Warning: Unknown(/home/dave/web_sites/phpinfo.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0 Warning: (null)(): Failed opening '/home/dave/web_sites/phpinfo.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in Unknown on line 0 It looks to be a permissions issue. But who has permission if not me, and how is permission an issue when I'm just looking at the file through a browser? By the way, I'm using PHP 4.4.0-3 on Ubuntu 5.10. Any advice or help would be much appreciated. Thank you. -- Dave M G -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
