Re: is_writable() not working on PHP 5.1.6

Thanks for your answer,

It was a bit late because we already disabled selinux just to try, and it worked :) But hopefully this could help someone that bumps into the same problem.

On a live webserver, what security issues would disableing the selinux cause? Any?

Best regards,

Some additional information:

On the running server I am getting this dumped:

audit(1168010361.652:217): avc:  denied  { write } for  pid=2924
comm="httpd" name="hcat.log" dev=dm-0 ino=8718108
scontext=root:system_r:httpd_t:s0
tcontext=root:object_r:etc_runtime_t:s0 tclass=file

smells like your on a system that's employing selinux
(http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/) or something similar.

if that is the case then this is not a php issue and you'll have
to dig into your server's setup/configuration to figure out what is
implementing this extra security wrapper and how you can tell it
to allow your webserver to access to the given dir/file.


Anyone?

Hi,

I am running Fedora Core 6 with PHP 5.1.6

This little snippet will output "the file is not writable":



if (file_exists($file)) {
    if(!is_writeable($menu_filename)){
        echo "the file is not writable";
    }
} else echo "The file does not exist";



I have set the permissions to 777 for the file and also put group and
user to apaches user. So that is not an issue.

I have seen some bug reports on this, but haven't figured out how to
 solve it.

Is this a PHP 5.1.6 related bug? I haven't seen any fix or similar.

Best regards,
Peter Lauri
