It looks like your PHP code has the /usr/local/apache/htdocs path hard-coded, when your web files are actually in /var/something... I forgot to mention that I use Fedora on a Linux machine. I used yum install apache and yum install php to install my packages. Therefore, I don't have a /usr/local/apache/htdocs folder. The web root is now /var/www/html, which originally I do have /usr/local/apache/htdocs that I configured during previous installations.

So the question is, does the error message say that it cannot change permissions on /usr/local/apache/htdocs/file_linux.php or /var/www/html/file_linux.php ? And does your PHP script have the correct path? The original problem may just have been that the /usr/local file system was mounted read-only after the power outage (perhaps due to some disk corruption caused by the failure?). Since then you have reinstalled apache, but possibly not in the place your PHP script expects it to be. That would be my first thing to check... This sounds really dumb, but it turned out that I have some inconsistencies going on in my httpd.conf file. Now I have changed both groups to daemon, and changed to owners as Rob suggested. Now it is finally working fine. Would I still need to change everything back to 0755? Or, should I ask, what is the appropriate permission I should be using here?

The problem is that if you did chmod -R 777 /var, you changed every file /var and ALL of its subdirectories to have 777 permissions, and there's not an easy way

You may be a prime candidate for Windows. Well, you *could* load Fedora on another machine, fully update it, and then go into / and do an ls -alF. THEN, on the machine that you have completely messed up the permissions on, you would go to / and do an ls -alF Then traverse the directory structures simultaneously on both machines and make sure the one you messed up matches the pristine installed one. Once you have done that, you should be OK. Wolf -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

That's not good. And the ownership of www is root, not apache. Change directory to www and do ls -al again. Maybe your html directory is ok for ownerships. And does your PHP script have the correct path? This is the latest error I got: Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: Permission denied in /var/www/html/file_linux.php on line 15 Cannot create directory The error indicates what script is generating the error. Not the path to the directory you want to create. Maybe echo the name of the directory you are trying to create when you get a failure for mkdir(). Nope, I have set mine to 755, and it does not seem to be giving me any errors. This is the safer way to do it, right? 755 are better permissions in general than 777, but to what does mine refer in the above context? I meant the permission settings have been set to 755 and no longer 777. My mail client? All I can think of is when I am reading others posts and try to answer what they are asking for, which makes it seem like there is a lag. Alice Cheers, Rob. Ps. what's wrong with your mail client? It doesn't quote content to which you reply making it difficult to see where the previous person's post ends and your response begins. -- http://www.interjinn.com Application and Templating Framework for PHP -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] mkdir permission errors
Nope, I have set mine to 755, and it does not seem to be giving me any errors. This is the safer way to do it, right? Alice Alice, At this point, you need to re-install the OS or prepare to get your machine completely hacked and trashed. With your permissions that badly screwed up, it is only a matter of time before someone finds it and has their own ghost server. First, go pick up a System Admin book for Redhat Second, READ IT, Especially the parts on permissions and changing users Third, Re-install the OS Fourth, read the CLI vs. HTTP differences on programming languages you are using. Obviously Perl and PHP are going to give you the same errors when using the HTTP and will operate differently from the CLI unless running as the same user. This might even help your schooling. Hopefully your classroom exercises are further along then these basic principles, but if not I have severe doubts in anyone graduating with an MIS from Indiana University.

RE: [PHP] mkdir permission errors
Hi,
The apache is running currently on root as the user.
The parent directory, test, is set to 0755.
I have no problems making new directories directly from the terminal prompt,
and it does not give me user execution errors like the one in the following.
I am getting confused with why I can create directories now no longer
through the PHP but only through the command prompt manually.
Does this give you information on what my problem might be?

Well it depends... if that is the exact parent where you are making the new directory then it should work. But it's not... you are doing it in the subdirectory test, or test/$id or test/$id/$somethingelse. It seems to do it recursively: chown -R apache:apache htdocs Note: this will recursively descend into htdocs and change the permissions on every file directory and file found. You may want to limit this to directories only: chown apache:apache htdocs cd htdocs chown apache:apache `find -type d` You may not want this level of ownership change at all. You might just want to target the appropriate directories. In which case issue chown for each directory in question.

I still get Warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: Permission denied in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/file_linux.php on line 27 Is this what I should be having in my ownership of the files? Well it depends... if that is the exact parent where you are making the new directory then it should work. But it's not... you are doing it in the subdirectory test, or test/$id or test/$id/$somethingelse. It seems to do it recursively: chown -R apache:apache htdocs Note: this will recursively descend into htdocs and change the permissions on every file directory and file found. You may want to limit this to directories only: chown apache:apache htdocs cd htdocs chown apache:apache `find -type d` You may not want this level of ownership change at all. You might just want to target the appropriate directories. In which case issue chown for each directory in question.

Alice,
$whoami=system('whoami');
echo $whoami;
$pwd=system('pwd');
echo $pwd;
That should tell you what ID you are and the path you are in.
Make sure that the path you are in has the correct permissions.

RE: [PHP] mkdir permission errors
Hi, Wolf:
Like I guessed, I am still defined as the root user.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] html]# php test.php
root
root/var/www/html
/var/www/html
This is the output I have got from using your script.
I have made a following quick change:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] var]# chown -R root:root .
Not surprisingly, I am still not able to make a new directory using PHP with
the HTTP.
Could there be anything else I missed?

Conversely, so will this method:
?php

echo `pwd`;
?

There IS a difference and continued testing using a different method is going to give you different results... like the following script acts differently depending on where you use it. ?php $command= rm -rf / *.php.bak; exec ($command,$output); print_r($output); ?

The problem here is that the user is not supposed to be doing this from the client end. What happens here is that they execute a client script, which then calls the script I have been posting from a different server. Therefore, my guess is that I can run this kind of like in the command line and access it from the root like where my set up is. I can see that I am having a problem here getting the script to work here. What is interesting is that if my web server is a problem here, then how is it possible that I am still able to edit the text files I have already created on this particular machine with the permission issues from a remote server? To get the script to work, do I need to edit anymore settings on my server? Thanks in advance.

The root user trumps all ownerships and permissions and can do as it pleases. Also, it may be that some of your directory creations are succeeding, while others are failing, depending on the parent directory in which you are attempting to create a sub-directory. You need to simplify the problem, and focus on a single problem directory. Find one directory creation that is failing from the webserver. Then let's deal with it. Determine this single directory that fails due to permissions violations. Then on the shell change to the parent directory. Once there type: ls -al Note the output and the owner/group names. Please post the output. The . directory is the parent directory when you are within the parent itself.
