Most likely the web server (Apache?) is not running as you (your username). Maybe it is, in which case take advice from the previous reply. It's most likely running as another user. On linux/unix there is a specific user for the web server depending upon what server. Apache is normally, httpd, apache or nobody. So that user would need permissions. As a test, give everyone permission to the dir, then run your script and see what user owns the created file. Then you can grant only that user write access to the file. -Shawn Crayon Shin Chan wrote: > On Monday 23 July 2007 12:23, Ken Tozier wrote: > >> The permissions for the "test" folder is set to me in a WebServer >> subfolder on Mac OS X. > > What exactly does "permission ... set to me" mean? > >> Do I need to set permissons to something else >> to get this to work?
