Re: [PHP-DB] Problem with permissions Win32 dba_open
Unchecking the read only box made no difference. A zero byte test database file is created and dba_open() results in 'Permission denied'. However, if the file is given a relative path (eg ../test.db), instead of an absolute address (eg C:/Apache/htdocs/test.db), the Permission denied warning is not generated. Also, the dba_replace() function doesn't result in a warning either - but the test database remains at zero bytes and, of course, dba_fetch() can't find any records. I have given up on DB3 now, because I've discovered that both the 'inifile' and 'flatfile' handlers give me the results I need from my Win32 testbed. I wonder why DB3 fails - perhaps it's a bug after all, as I mentioned in my original post Thanks for your patience, Ian Bastien Koert [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: make sure in the general tab that the read only checkbox is NOT checked bastien From: Ian [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] Problem with permissions Win32 dba_open Date: Thu, 30 Dec 2004 12:54:49 - Bastien Koert [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: have you set the permissions in the folders?

I am testing my PHP scripts locally under XP Home SP2 / Apache 1.3.23 / PHP 4.3.10 but I can't get a simple DBM script to work. No problem running it on my remote site, under Unix with gdbm though. Locally, phpinfo() gives: DBA support: enabled Supported handlers: cdb cdb_make db3 inifile flatfile This encourages me to think that I could open a database with db3, but I just can't get passed the dba_open command, which always fails with Permission denied. $db = dba_open(C:\Apache\htdocs\test.db, c , db3) // for example What am I doing wrong please? Thanks for your help, Ian PS This appears to be a fixed bug (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=28122) but I still get permission denied.
