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.

Change Permissions On Files
I understand that chmod(); is to change the permission on folder, but is it also used for changing file permissions? I need to take the images my users upload and change their permissions so they can delete them.

Change Permissions To Allow Mkdir() But What About Security
When users register with my site I want to create a directory where I can store certain user files. This gives the user the ability to have a 'neat' domain name like URL instead of something like URL I have been successful using the mkdir() function in my scripts but I need to give write permissions to the URL directory as has been suggested in all the submissions to this forum. Is it safe giving write permissions to the site's main directory? If not is there another way to create a sub-directory without giving up any security?

Session Permissions Change Without Warning (HELP)
I run Apache2 and PHP5 and most of the time it works fine with my scripts. Then occasionally, and it doesn't seem to make any difference when, I'll get php session errors, saying that that permission is denied. I've checked the /private/tmp folder (desig in php.ini) for permissions and it's fine (drwxrwxrwt). But here's the weird bit. when I first hit a website, it places a session tmp file in /private/tmp just like it should, with permissions of: Then suddenly without warning I'll get session errors from the PHP scripts and the session files will have changed permissions to: ---------- nobody wheel Does anyone have ANY idea why the session tmp files would change permissions like that?

How To Change Folder Permissions Without The 'security Tab'
I'm running windows, php version 3.4.1 and i am having a hard time initiating SESSIONS. it turns out i should change the session.save_path c: emp permission to 'modify' but my windows doesn't appear to show me a 'security tab' for me to do this. can someone help me with an example of perhaps an ms dos command prompt, or an alternative way, or even a program to simply change the permission on a folder.

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()

I get permission errors in the script if I use the chgrp and chmod functions also. PHP Code:

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.

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

My question is as follows. Is the only solution to this problem to add the courier user to the apache group?

How can i code the page to add an XML entry based on the file uploaded? If it'd be easier to use a specific file uploading system, i'm open to that too.

.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.
