File/folder Permissions
I have an upload function that uploads images into a folder. The folder is set to 777. However when I upload an image file to the folder, the file uploaded is set to 600. Therefore it wont appear on web. I'm not sure why this is doing this for?? Im using the php function move_uploaded_file to upload the file.

Folder Permissions
My trouble might be simple, but I'm quite new to php, and, perhaps I'm even more simple. It's that I had to chmod 777 two folders to get my scripts do what I wanted them to do, and I don't like it. I have a script running on my ISP's unix-apache -server. It is to read string from a form, and create a text-file in a subfolder 'txt' from it. The essential parts of the script is here: $fnam=$HTTP_POST_VARS[filename]; $handle =fopen("txt/".$fnam, "w"); $teksti=$HTTP_POST_VARS[tekstikentta]; touch('txt/'.$fnam); fwrite($handle,$teksti); fclose($handle); Can't be simpler. This script didn't work until I did a chmod777 for both folders, the one where this script is, and the 't' subfolder. Is there a way to get around this?

PHP Folder Permissions
I've created a Flash application for uploading files and some permissions in the PHP side are causing some hassle. What I need is for the script to create a folder and move the uploaded file to that folder. It does make the folder and can upload the file to a different folder, but not the folder it just made.

Not Stuffing Up Permissions Etc For My Folder
I need some advice re permissions etc. Here's the situation: at my workplace, I have a website which sits in a folder created by the IT manager, and given certain permissions (I'm not even yet sure how to determine what the permissions are). Whenever I'm at my workplace I just copy and paste files from my local machine to the web folder and it's on the web. Easy! But at home, I have dialup access and needed to upload files to the same folder. So I wrote a php script to upload files. Initially it didn't work as there were permissions issues. So at work I went to the Security tab on the properties of the web folder and clicked "Full Control". From then on, I could upload any files from home. But... 1)When I got back to work, I couldn't always delete or move files in the web folder as I previously could. 2)Now I'm not sure whether I've completely stuffed up the file permissions. So, my bottom line question is this: to enable me to upload and delete files from that directory from home, but so that I can still delete and move files at work, what permissions should I give to the folder? There are 3 "groups": Everyone, me and work users.

Folder Permissions Problem Trying To Run A PHP Script
I have a file permissions problem with PHP. I am using a product called Actinic to develop a shopping cart. This creates a subfolder named ACATALOG into which it loads all of its files. The permissions for this folder is set to 777. I have set up a page in the package to call a .PHP page. When I try to run the PHP page I get the error message: "A file permissions error has occurred running this script. Please check that the script and the directory that it's in are only writable by the site administrator. If this error persists, please contact the server administrator." The shared hosting company says that the folder permissions should be set to 711 drwx--x--x or 755 drwxr-xr-x I am unable to change the permissions of the folder or put the the file in a different folder due to the Actinic package constraints. Is there anything I can do to get this to work?

Check Windows Folder Permissions
I'm writing some PHP code which acts as a web-based file browser. It lists all the directories and files on a server by checking the server directly rather than going through FTP. The files and directories on the server have permissions which restrict them to certain users. What I want the code to do is check if the user who is currently logged in has permissions on the file or directory and if so, check if the permissions are sufficient enough tpo perform the requested operation.

User Permissions Problem With Created Folder.
I use an indexing script that generates thumbnails for pictures and stores them, so the next time someone requests a directory listing, the thumbnail is already there and needn't be re-created. Now, the problem is, the script cant create the thumbnail folders because the base folder is owned by a normal system user, while the script-screated folders or images are owned by the httpd, www-data. Is there a way to have folders/files be created under the correct system user?

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

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.
