Not Enough Permissions To Delete A File
I want to delete a file using unlink() function. I'm getting a warning that says that I have no permissions to do that. I suppose that is because the file I'm trying to delete is under the root directory path. I searched the forum about deleting files but found nothing alike my problem...

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:

Change File Permissions
i'm trying to create a file management tool online using php. Everytime i copy or create files or folders though it assigns ownership of the new files or folders to the apache id. i tried using backticks, exec, shell_exec and the php shell commands. php safe mode is off. i can create the files and folders using shell commands and have tried to change ownership using chown but that doesn't seem to do anything. any insight can help. the goal is to be able to create these files with the same admin user ownership as all the other files on the site.

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?

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()?

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.

Linux File Permissions On Maildir, Apache User
i have the following problem. I am trying to create maildir directories on the local filesystem then chmod, chown them to courier:courier (for courier mail server). the courier mail server reads and writes on these maildirs on the local filesystem and they need to have courier:courier ownership. it does not work because the directories are created with apache:apache ownership and apparently only root can change ownership. My question is as follows. Is the only solution to this problem to add the courier user to the apache group?

File Delete
I need to delete a compressed backup file after it has been sucessfully uploaded to a ftp server, the upload works fine using CRON and a php page. I have tried to delete the file using: <? $oldfile = "/home/#*$!/backup-10.8.2005_07-00-01_yyy.tar.gz"; unlink($oldfile); ?> However I get a permission denied, what's wrong? Also, I don't know the exact file name, so what I really want to do is wildcard the file name like this: <? $oldfile = "/home/xxx/backup-*_yyy.tar.gz"; unlink($oldfile); ?> Is this possible?

Trying To Delete A File Using Unlink
i am trying to delete a file using the unlink function but it just is not working. i just get the Could not delete message. Is there anyway to find out exactly what is wrong? I've tried the exact path which is C:/domain/wwwroot/temp/0000000.txt but it just does not delete. Also i dont think it can be related to permissions because the 0000000.txt was created automatically by a script. The code i used is as follows: <? $delete = unlink("C:/domain/wwwroot/temp/0000000.txt"); if($delete) { echo "Succesfully Deleted"; } else { echo "Could not Delete"; } ?>
