PHP list,

   I wanted to adjust my register global settings in my
php.ini file. I found instructions on this page:
   http://www.dmcinsights.com/phpmysql/phpini.php

   The first thing it says to do is take a look at the
results of phpinfo(); to see where the php.ini file actually is.

   So I created a phpinfo.php file, put in the following code:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
   ... and then accessed it through FireFox at localhost.

   To my surprise, I got the following error message:

Warning: Unknown(/home/dave/web_sites/phpinfo.php):
failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0

Warning: (null)(): Failed opening '/home/dave/web_sites/phpinfo.php'
for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in Unknown on line 0

   It looks to be a permissions issue. But who has permission if not me,
and how is permission an issue when I'm just looking at the file through a browser?

   By the way, I'm using PHP 4.4.0-3 on Ubuntu 5.10.

   Any advice or help would be much appreciated.

   Thank you.

So, what does this say:

$umask

and this:

$ ls -l /home/dave/web_sites/phpinfo.php

and are you using the browser to view the file via
a server (e.g., the browser address bar says "http://";),
or via the filesystem (you've opened it from an "explorer"
type window and the address bar says "file:///")....

Is PHP running as mod_php in apache, or CGI?

Finally, can you view other files in the same directory
via similar means?
