RE: mkdir permission errors

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

   The apache  is running currently on root as the user.
   The parent directory, test, is set to 0755.
   I have no problems making new directories directly from the terminal prompt, and it does not give me user execution errors like the one in the following.
   I am getting confused with why I can create directories now no longer through the PHP but only through the command prompt manually.

Does this give you information on what my problem might be?

I have set the permission of my htdocs folder iof my Apache server to 0755, and then started executing the following.

Under what user does apache run?

What are the ownerships on the parent directory?

Can you create the directory if you log in as the apache user (su
apacheuser)?

Cheers,
Rob.
