 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.

 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,

 Adam -

 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!;
}

?

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.

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.

Adam

 Dear List -

 Thanks for all your help in the past. Â Here is another one...

 I am getting a Permission Denied message 
when I try to run a PHP script. Â I

 just changed the mode on the directory and the files to 777. Â This problem
 arose when I changed the permissions. Â I thought I was solving a problem,
 because I could not open a file for writing. Â I was not receiving error
 messages, but no file was created.

 Help and advice, please.

Any more suggestions?

Thanks.

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,

Adam
