Chmod Mkdir And File Permissions..
I'm trying to create directories and move files with the right permissions. When I make a dir using mkdir I'm setting the permission to 777 to my folder variable $t2 below, but when I check the chmod it's 755? When I copy files over to this folder the file permission are set to 644 and I can't even get rid of them on the server because it won't allow me to delete them. Is there anyway to set permissions to a file as you're using the copy function? Code:

Trying to find out why anytime I create a new file on our server I must set the chmod permissions for the file in order for it to work in apache/php.

Chmod() / Permissions Problem
I'm writing a script to backup my mysql database on a regular basis (idea of script is it gets called every time a user visits the homepage - if timestamp in db is older than now() - $interval then a mysqldump of all tables in db is performed using mysqldump via the exec() function). The part I'm stuck with is creating a directory with the correct permissions so that I can write the output of mysqldump to a file within that directory. The function which is called if a dump is required is below - the problem is explained in more detail after the code:

Is_writable Problem - Set Write Permissions? With Chmod?
I have a problem fixing an upload script by implementing the opensource project webcollab. By setting the upload directory to a certain folder in the config.php file, the whole thing should work, but it does not. It says that write permission for the folder should be set properly. I assume the folder is correct(heej i am not such a big idiot ), so the problem is the write permissions. I assume it is not in the script, since the version of the project is stable. Question: How do I set these write permissions? With chmod? Or is this more a kind of thing that the server admin should set?

File Upload Problem, Chmod
i'm having a problem with file permissions of upload, they appear to be being set to only readable by the administrator, so anyone browsing the site gets a 403 forbidden error when they try and view the image. I've tried adding the following line: - chmod($uploadfile, 444); and also a few variations on it but to no avail. Script below: - if($_FILES['imageloc']['name'] == '') { echo 'The Small image remains the same or default<br />' } elseif($_FILES['imageloc']['size'] > $MAX_FILE_SIZE) { echo 'The small image you selected is too large<br />' } elseif(!getimagesize($_FILES['imageloc']['tmp_name'])) { echo 'The small image you selected is not a valid image file<br />' } else { $uploaddir = '/web/html/images/' // remember the trailing slash! $uploadfile = $uploaddir. $_FILES['imageloc']['name']; chmod($uploadfile, 444); if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['imageloc']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) { echo 'Upload file success!' } else { echo 'There was a problem uploading your file.<br />' print_r($_FILES); }

Forced To Chmod 777 Directories For File Upload
I'm in the process of switching a client's site to a new host. Host 1 uses Apache 2.0x, php 5.2, mysql 5. I have the pertinent directories' permissions set to 751 and it works great. When I moved the site to the new host (using Apache 2.2x, php 5.2, mysql 5), only 777 allows the users to upload files to the same directories. I won't make this site live until I can use a more strict set of permissions. Any idea why anything but 777 won't work on the new server?

File Permissions
Im in the process of creating a web based frontend for a program called ASK (Active Spam Killer - http://a-s-k.sourceforge.net) and am currently running into a problem. Currently there is a perl based web front end, but it lacks functionality, and is rather bland, although it does work, and it works without changing any file permissions. The problem im running into is that PHP requires me to make changes to file permissions (ASK files are located OUTSIDE of the web tree) which might end up causing problems as far as security and privacy of email. Has anyone come to any reasonable answer for this type of problem as im sure its a issue for other programs people write.

File Permissions....
I've read the stuff concerning writing to a text file and the related file permission issues on this forum.I have a script that does just that, it takes user-entered data from a Web Form and dumps it to a text file on a server. This works fine on my private server, but is giving me the error...."Could not open stream.Permission denied on Line..." on the company server...The Company machine uses Windows XP. I've tried talking to the System Administrator regarding the Permissions,but he says that giving READ/WRITE/EXECUTE Permissions could create Security Issues. I have been told that previously,a script written in ASP had been used that did exactly the same thing i.e writing to the text file, but there were no File Permissions needed to be set!

File Write Permissions
I'm trying to get an open source PHP app working for my company. It's giving me the following custom error: FreeMED was unable to create a file to record the healthy status of the system. The FreeMED directory should be owned by the user that the webserver is running as... Usually this is 'apache'. You can also fix this by giving universal write access to the home directory of FreeMED. But that is not advisable from a security standpoint. I've narrowed it down to the line of PHP that's breaking it here: $test = CreateObject('FreeMED.FreeMEDSelfTest'); As far as I can tell, I've made the directory it's using as open as possible and it's still giving me that error. The owner is apache (user and group) and the permissions are (temporarily) set at 0777 (universal read/write). Is there some PHP or Apache configuration that needs changed to allow PHP this kind of permission?

Upload File Permissions Problem
I've moved an existing site (which I didn't write) from a apache/php/mysql host under windows to a linux apache/php/mysql host. I've sorted out most problems except one. There is an upload function on the site, which uploads files via POST to temp folder and then moves it into a folder on the host using php function move_uploaded_file. Under windows this works fine but on the linux host the uploaded file is created with 600 permissions so it cannot be accessed later by site visitors. The folder it is uploaded into has 755 permissions. Is there a way of setting the default file permissions so each uploaded file can be set to say 644 or do I need to chmod each file after upload?

Set Up The Permissions So That My Script Can Simply Fopen A File For Writing.
I am rather new to PHP and a relative newbie to Linux too. I have a webserver at home (Apache 2.0.48 on SuSe 9.0, PHP4). I have some scripts, one of them needs to be able to create logfiles somewhere on my machine. It must also later be able to read from and write to these files again. Sofar I get a permission error. I tried chmodding 666 or 777 the directory in which the files could reside, to no avail. How do I set up the permissions so that my script can simply fopen a file for writing. Or if that's not the issue, what am I doing wrong or overlooking ? The errors: Warning: fopen(logfileslog1.txt): failed to open stream: Permission denied in script1.php on line 142 Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in script1.php on line 154 Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in script1.php on line 161 It's the first I am puzzled about, the 2nd and 3rd are a logical consequence. By the way, reading from and writing to a file I have previously created myself with exactly the names I tried to get created by the script (echoed the name, ok) is no problem at all. So I don't think it has much to do with a safemode or open_basedir setting. I also tried creating the scripts in the same dir the script itself resides. Did not work either.

.php Files - Permissions Are Set Public Readable - So Can Public Get To See Actual Raw File?
As a newbie to PHP is it in anyway possible for a casual web surfer to actually get to see the PHP behind my .php file. E.g. if index.php contained PHP code to check if the page had been called with a variable such as "password", is there anyway a public member can get to see the raw php file and therefore see what the password is? index.php might be: if ($_REQUEST[password]="secret") {[color=blue] >Then show one page[/color] else[color=blue] >show another page[/color] } So if a user visits with index.php?password=secret they get to see the secret page. But as the index.php has to have file permission set so that anyone can read it, I'm worried that the public can just somehow view the file and learn the password.

CHMOD 777
In order to install this, certain files need to be set to CHMOD 777, but due to the host, we cannot edit this. We contacted them and they told us to create a php.ini file with mod_rewrite enabled, they told us to do this, but not how to do it.... If I were to unzip the files on my website, change the CHMOD to 777 on the required files, compress them again, and unzip them on my friends website, will the files still be on CHMOD 777? Or, is their another way to change the CHMOD?
