What do you see if you run this? Can't open or create file! Ethan OK, If you're running PHP as an Apache module, by default it won't have permissions to write to the directory (this is by design to avoid security issues.) You can do something like the following: 1. Create a directory for writing files outside of your public directory (let's call it uploads.) 2. Change the group associated with the directory to Apache: sudo chgrp -R www-data /home/username/path/to/uploads 3. Change the permissions on the directory so the group has write permissions: sudo chmod -R 2775 /home/username/path/to/uploads 4. Then try the script again. See if that works. Adam -- Nephtali: A simple, flexible, fast, and security-focused PHP framework http://nephtaliproject.com Thanks - The directory is output_files, which is a subdirectory of /var/www I'm getting a message invalid owner on the command chown Apache output_files. Also with the -R option, and with apache as the owner, also with the chgrp. All these commands are run as root.. Help and advice please. Ethan Hi Ethan, I might be missing something. Did you set up the user Apache? On a standard install for Debian (using apt-get), apache is usually set up as the user/group www-data: http://wiki.debian.org/Apache http://wiki.debian.org/ApacheThe root user typically owns the /var/www directory. I usually set up virtual hosts within one of the other accounts and then change the group on a directory outside of the public directory specifically set aside for uploads and run the commands I sent. However, in the case of your example, I believe you can just run the 2 commands I sent on the /var/www/output_files directory and you should be able to write the files. sudo chgrp -R www-data /var/www/output_files sudo chmod -R 2775 /var/www/output_files Hope this helps, and sorry if I misunderstood something in your configuration or troubleshooting.

Hi Ethan,
Are you using suPHP or suExec? I believe the server chokes on 777
permissions in those cases.
Have you checked the permissions in the command line (sorry for the basic
question, but just making sure I know what you've already done?)
Also, can we see some of the code you're using to handle the file
processing?
Thanks,

Thanks.
1] Pardon my ignorance but I do not understand this - Are you using suPHP
or suExec?
suPHP and suExec are two modules that allow PHP to run with the permissions
of the user, making it easy to write files to disk. However, suPHP (and I
believe suExec, but I can't remember for sure) does not like 777
permissions.
2] I changed the permissions to 755 and the Permission Denied message
went away.
Check!
3] Have you checked the permissions in the command line? Yes
Check!
4] Here are some code snippets:
$fptr1 = fopen(chessboard, r+); //this works
$fptr2 = fopen('chessboard', 'w'); //this deletes the file, as it should
for($i = 0; $i 8; $i++)
{
for ($j = 0; $j 8; $j++)
fprinf($fptr2, %s , $results[$i][$j]);
fprinf($fptr2, \n);
} //this never writes, so I am left with an empty file
Can you try a simplified form that checks for success along the way? How
about something like the code below to see how far it gets (I haven't
tested, but it should be close):
?php
// let's make sure you see the E_WARNING errors if present for file
functions
error_reporting(-1);
// set var for later
$cost = 120.89;
if (!($fp = fopen(test.txt, 'w'))) {
echo Can't open or create file!;
} else if (!($len = fprintf($fp, In the year 3000, a Coke will cost %01.2f,
with tax., $cost))) {
echo Can't write to file!;
} else if (!(fclose($fp))) {
echo Can't properly close file!;
}
?

I believe the server chokes on 777 permissions in those cases. Have you checked the permissions in the command line (sorry for the basic question, but just making sure I know what you've already done?) Also, can we see some of the code you're using to handle the file processing? Thanks, Adam -- Nephtali: A simple, flexible, fast, and security-focused PHP framework http://nephtaliproject.com

[PHP] Permission Denied (in FTP)
Hello,
I'm having some slight issues. I have a script which creates a directory and then
copies a blank file into it 4 times each with different names. Here's the code which
does it:
?php
$folder = str_replace(' ', '_', $HTTP_POST_VARS['title']);
$folder = str_replace('.', '', $folder);
mkdir('./tutorials/'.$HTTP_POST_VARS['folder'].'/'.$folder, 0777);
copy('./tutorials/blank.txt',
'./tutorials/'.$HTTP_POST_VARS['folder'].'/'.$folder.'/desc.txt');
copy('./tutorials/blank.txt',
'./tutorials/'.$HTTP_POST_VARS['folder'].'/'.$folder.'/rating.txt');
copy('./tutorials/blank.txt',
'./tutorials/'.$HTTP_POST_VARS['folder'].'/'.$folder.'/overview.txt');
copy('./tutorials/blank.txt',
'./tutorials/'.$HTTP_POST_VARS['folder'].'/'.$folder.'/views.txt');
chmod('./tutorials/'.$HTTP_POST_VARS['folder'].'/'.$folder.'/desc.txt', 0777);
chmod('./tutorials/'.$HTTP_POST_VARS['folder'].'/'.$folder.'/rating.txt', 0777);
chmod('./tutorials/'.$HTTP_POST_VARS['folder'].'/'.$folder.'/overview.txt', 0777);
chmod('./tutorials/'.$HTTP_POST_VARS['folder'].'/'.$folder.'/views.txt', 0777);
$fp = fopen('./tutorials/'.$HTTP_POST_VARS['folder'].'/'.$folder.'/desc.txt',
'w+');
fwrite($fp, $HTTP_POST_VARS['desc']);
$fp = fopen('./tutorials/'.$HTTP_POST_VARS['folder'].'/'.$folder.'/overview.txt',
'w+');
fwrite($fp, $HTTP_POST_VARS['overview']);
$fp = fopen('./tutorials/'.$HTTP_POST_VARS['folder'].'/'.$folder.'/views.txt',
'w+');
fwrite($fp, '0');
$fp = fopen('./tutorials/'.$HTTP_POST_VARS['folder'].'/'.$folder.'/rating.txt',
'w+');
fwrite($fp, '0');
?
After all that is done, it's fine. The problem I'm having is deleting the folder in an
FTP client. Whenever I go to delete it, it says it cannot delete desc.txt because
permission is denied. Is there any way to make it so it can be deleted? Please help
and reply soon. Thanks!
Thank you,

[PHP] Permission Denied
Hello, I'm having a few problems with deleting items. When I do the unlink() function, it gives me a permission denied error. For example..here's the code: unlink($this-currentfolder().'/packs/'.$title.'/'.$intname); Here's the error returned: Warning: unlink() failed (Permission denied) in /usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/piw.melchior.us/httpdocs/phpiw/classes/class. delete.php on line 45 The problem with all this is, I dynamically create the directories and files and dynamically CHMOD them all to 777 with no problems. I don't see why I'm getting all this! Please help ASAP! Thanks in advance!

Re: [PHP] Permission Denied
My Full system settings are IIS 6.1, Windows XP Professional, etc. I'll be
publishing the script later and most will have CHMOD settings. Now I guess I
need to know how to fix it on my test server and then what the CHMOD
settings should be...
As for Sean's email, I just did those settings and I'll have the results
later today. I'm only home for lunch, need to get back to school...

Re: [PHP] Permission Denied
Ok, I finally just right clicked on my wwwroot folder and went to security.
I allowed control to everyone on the network (just me and my brothers) and
it works. Just one last question! What should the CHMOD settings be for when
it goes online?

RE: [PHP] Permission Denied
I'm assuming you are using IIS.
If your harddrive is formatted using NTFS, you are going to have to add a
new entry to the ACL list for the directory to let the IUSR_machinename
account access the directory.
There are plenty of readmes/articles on managing NTFS permissions. I don't
have time to go into the details of how to do it, only to tell you that that
is what you have to do.
BTW; By default Windows XP (If thats what you are using) enables Simple
Sharing/File Permisisons. To turn that off
in Windows Explorer;

Yes, I just added it but same error:
Warning: mkdir(c:\inetpub\wwwroot\phpiw\packs\bob)
[function.mkdir]: Permission denied in
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\phpiw\classes\class.cp.php on line 28
Here's the part where I try and make the folder:
function do_dir($package) {
umask(0);
if(mkdir($this-currentfolder().'packs\\bob', 0777)) {
return true;
} else {
echo 'There is already a package by the name of
'.$package.'! Delete it and try again.brbr';
return false;
}
}
Any ideas?

[PHP] Permission Denied
Why do I get this error whenever I try to CHMOD something in
PHP or create a directory (in this case):
Warning: mkdir(packs/bob) [function.mkdir]: Permission denied in
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\phpiw\classes\class.cp.php on line 20
Here's line 20 of class.cp.php:
mkdir('packs/'.$package,
0777);
Any help would be great!

Re: [PHP] Permission Denied
The user/group (commonly nobody.nogroup or nobody.nobody) that your web server
runs under probably does not have the permissions necessary to chmod those
directories (ie: they are owned by someone else).

[PHP] Permission Denied
I use PHP to send mail. Recently, emails originating from the server stopped sending. After some investigation, I looked at the /var/log/maillog file, and saw the following errors when a mailing tried to originate: Aug 29 13:16:10 x sendmail[1162]: g7TIGA001162: SYSERR(apache): Can't create transcript file ./xfg7TIGA001162: Permission denied Aug 29 13:16:10 x sendmail[1162]: g7TIGA001162: SYSERR(apache): Cannot create ./dfg7TIGA001162: Permission denied I looked in my mail queue directory, and there were like 15,000 files...looked at a sample few of them, and they were jibberish. Question 1: I'm assuming the error has something to do with the chown/chgrp/chmod of the /var/spool/mqueue directory? I don't know how this could have changed, nothing was modified on the server. Currently: owner = root, group = mail, permissions = rwx rx rx Question 2: Did I get hacked?? __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

[PHP] permission denied using COPY function?
Trying to use the COPY function to allow user uploads to a site, along the lines of: copy(temp directory, directory on my server). However, I'm getting an error: Warning: Unable to create 'directory/image name': Permission denied in myPHPfile on line x (where x is the COPY function). I've set owner permission to RWX on both the PHP file where the function is, and the directory to which the files are being uploaded. Any ideas why I'm still getting permission denied?

Hi all,
I'm trying to upload a file from a client browser to my server.
On the client side, I've got:
FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ACTION="upload.php" METHOD=POST
!-- INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="1000" --
Send this file: INPUT NAME="userfile" TYPE="file"
INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Send File"
/FORM
On the server side, I've got:
echo ("$userfilebr");
echo ($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['name'] ."br");
echo ($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['type'] ."br");
echo ($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['size'] ."br");
echo ($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'] ."br");
if (move_uploaded_file($userfile,
"/home/jalmberg/public_html/qiksys/images/temp.jpg"))
print("moved file");
else
print("couldn't move file!");
When I try to use this, I get:

couldn't move file!
==
I check the php.ini file and safe mode is turned off. I've also tried with a
text file, same result. I have permission to access the above directory . .
. the php files working this magic are located in
/home/jalmberg/public_html/qiksys.
Probably there is a simple answer to this question, but I'm out of ideas!
Any help???
Thanks in advance.

Re: [PHP] Permission denied
Don't forget, PHP (in general) runs as the webserver (normally "nobody" or
"apache" for Apache servers). Make sure your webserver has write access to

RE: [PHP] Permission denied
Hi Adam, thanks for your quick repsonse. I'm just renting space on a (Linux/Apache) server, so I don't have any control over how PHP is configured on the machine. Perhaps there is a way for me to change my 'local' PHP configuration? I don't know much about this aspect of PHP, obviously. I'm just trying to ask obvious questions. Alternatively, can my PHP application log-in, and thus obtain permission?

Adam, Just ran phpinfo and you are correct: the Apache User/Group is "nobody". H'. This sounds like a problem.

Re: [PHP] Permission denied
If you have shell access to the box, you can chgrp some stuff and allow PHP to write to it. Otherwise, you'll have to talk to the ISP directly (get them to setup setuid versions of common shell commands for this sort of requirement). There is no way to make PHP 'login', any as PHP is server side, nothing you change locally can affect it. adamw - Original Message - From: "John Almberg" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "PHP General List" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 23, 2001 3:27 PM Subject: RE: [PHP] Permission denied Adam, Just ran phpinfo and you are correct: the Apache User/Group is "nobody".

RE: [PHP] Permission denied
Whoopee!!!
After two days of propeller-spinning, I finally uploaded a file
successfully!!!
I had to use an FTP connection to do it, because my PHP process didn't have
permission to write files to my directory, but that's fine.
Here's the code snippet that worked the trick, with my
servername/username/password changed to protect the innocent (me!)
Thanks to Adam for putting me on the right track, vis-a-vis file
permissions.
