Ave,

I¹m not sure if anyone here is going to be able to help, but I¹ve run into a
permissions snag.
I have Apache Web Server running on Mac OS X with PHP. I have a folder on a
windows machine mounted on my Mac OS X as a share using the ³mount ­t smbfs
//user@xxxxxxxxxxx/ShareName Share².
The ³user² has full read-write permission and physically I¹m able to do
anything I want sitting on my Mac OS X in this share, like create, delete or
modify files.
The problem is, I don¹t think Apache Web Server (or PHP) has write access on
this share. In PHP, I¹m able to read data from files on this share, but I¹m
not able to write  data to any file on that share. I get access is denied.

Is there anyway through PHP to give Apache or PHP write access to the files
on this share? I don¹t see how I can provide Apache Web Server (installed on my Mac) Write
Access through the Windows System that has the original folder. Windows is
only able to provide the Mac User with Permissions, not Apache.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

you could always change apache to run as the user/group that the mount is set to.

Sorry you had to spend 6 hours hunting down a 2 second fix. Not sure why no one else suggested this. If it is a local copy of Apache and not used by anybody else, who cares about what permissions it runs as.
