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?

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 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!

Problem With File Permissions : PHP / FTP
My php-script makes directories and puts files in it. But via FTP'ing, I can't delete those files anymore. Also, I need to put a whole bunch of existing files into these, 'made-by-php' directories, and that seems impossible by means of FTP. I get an 'access denied' error every time.

File Permissions After Copy()
This function basically creates a new dir in a determined location and copies the files from an established dir to the new dir. It copies the files and creates the folder ok, bit it sets the file permissons to 755 for the new folder and file contents. I then get a 550 error if I try to delete or chmod them. Any suggestions? I get permission errors in the script if I use the chgrp and chmod functions also. PHP Code:

i'm trying to create a file management tool online using php.

File Permissions On Upload
I am uploading picture. This is part of the code if(!move_uploaded_file($_FILES['fullSizePic'.$propId.$i]['tmp_name'], '../images/properties/'.$imageName) ){ chmod('../images/properties/' . $imageName , 0777); } The file uploads and moves into the properties folder. That folder's chmod is 777, but the file's chmod is only 600 making it unreadable by the server. I try to chmod it with php (as you can see above) and it doesn't work.

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?

File Permissions Of PHP Session Files
I noticed that the file permissions (unix) of the PHP session files have only read and write permissions for the Apache process (600 or rw- --- ---). Does anyone have any idea where this permission is set ? I can't find any umask or chmod settings for it in the php.ini file. Can't find anything in the httpd.conf either. Is it set in the PHP code that implements session_start()?

PHP/IIS: File Read/Write OK, File Unlink Denied
I've got PHP running fine on IIS (OS: Server 2003, SP1; IIS: 6.0; PHP: 4.3.11). In PHP, the user uploads a file, which is then processed and the contents are inserted into a new file, created in PHP, onto the server. This bit works fine, the new file created by PHP is correctly stored. Later, once the user confirms the upload and PHP inserts the contents of the file into the DB, the code tries to remove the file created in PHP moments earlier, via the unlink() function. What I see on screen is the following: Permission denied I have made sure that the permissions for the Internet account that created (and is trying to delete) the file have full permissions over this particular folder and the files within it. But the user must have permission anyway, because they are able to create this file in the first place. I've looked at the permissions for the file in PHP, which read: 0666. So everthing *appears* ok to me; I can't see where the permission issue is coming from.

Write To File Sometimes Deletes EVERYTHING, Leaving Empty File
I've used PHP to save raw data from Flash to an XML in the past. Load the XML into flash, update a couple variables, then send it to PHP to completely overwrite the old .xml file. This works great most of time, but sometimes after a few days, I'll check the .xml and it will be empty (0 bytes). Not sure if this is caused by a user who aborted during the writing process, or simultaneous connections, etc. Been thinking about doing a backup every day using CRON, but that's a mission and I'd like for it not to happen full stop. Any suggestions?

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.

So I'd need the file pointer to create a new line just beneath '<threads>'.

Write An .xml File
I am using PHP/MySql to store info for a XML formatted doc. I used the technique from www.gotoandlearn.com to produce XML with PHP. I added the ability to write the XML file that show up in IE and that works great. I recently made a change to have keywords in a separate DB because I need to have the keywords inputted separately in the XML. This XML file is used for SCORM compliancy based on the ADL website https://adlregistry.dtic.mil/ (https://adlregistry.dtic.mil/6/index2_7.htm). The problem now is that when I run the script to produce the XML page via IE and write it into the xml folder it prints the keyword in IE but it will not write them in the .xml file. It writes all the other data but just shows the do while loop i have. Below is the code. To me it appears that the variable is not being reconized in the bottome write file portion of the code. This was done with Dreamweaver and Handcoding and reworked code off the internet.

But I am still stuck. I've done exhaustive searches for a solution, but all the posts which mention this Error message seem to either fail to resolve it, or resolve it by changing the chmods.

Write To File Or Use MySql?
I am laying out the data model for a small real estate site. So far whenver I needed small databases, I just created regular files as tables, searched them and put out whatever I needed. Works fine for small apps. Have only held my nose into Mysql and it seems that I have to do the exact same searches, except there is an additional layer in between. Now, assuming that the authors of mysql are really good at what they are doing (as opposed to yours truly) I would not lose any speed by using mysql. But at what KB,amount of tables,.. size does it really make sense to use mysql rather then simply writing into a straight file?
