My php file works locally but not on the ssl server what am i missing please....

[marnslee]

I have installed a php file that creates a .txt file on demand. this is working locally but not on the server, i am at my wits end to get it working an im sure it is something so simple.. this is on a secure server

 

here are the settings used locally which work just fine:

 

$myfile = "/myob/myob_sale" . date(m) .date(d) . date(y) . ".txt";               

$DOCUMENT_ROOT = "/Users/mycomputer/Documents/betties/secureshop";

$salefile = $DOCUMENT_ROOT . $myfile ;

 

here are the settings used remotely:

 

$myfile = "/myob/myob_sale" . date(m) .date(d) . date(y) . ".txt";

$DOCUMENT_ROOT = "/home/betties/public_html/secureshop/";

$salefile = $DOCUMENT_ROOT . $myfile ;

 

any help would be appreciated

Could it be that you/user will need "access" to write to the ssl?

does that not automatically apply to a root user?? if not what is needed to do to rectify this issue? thanks

It looks like, because it is on ssl, that you have a sort of catalog where you sell something?

If people buy, it writes the txt file and do whatever.

If so, I would say you need some sort of a login wich give the user access to the server in-effect "PERMISSION" to write to the ssl.

yes that is right i have a catalog that sells, and it is used to write data to import into myob accounting.

Im guessing that I would need to contact the host to set up the permission side of things? thanks

Not sure, do you make use of a db?

Not sure, do you make use of a db?

 

yes mysql 5.0.67, this is an oscommerce site

I`m not that far yet, sorry mate. I can do a login and connect to the mysql server(non ssl) reading the data in each row of the selected db but not sure about a catalog. What if you make a config.php file with the correct user and password to write to the server and just include the file in your site. That's all I can think of. Hey what have you got to loose, like redarrow said - "quote: Looks like everyone wants to prove there programming skills..." http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,229485.0.html

Hi anybody i have now added this to my file with no avail! does this seem right or should it be include and not require have tried both and neither work

 

require("./includes/configure.php");

$myfile = "/myob/myob_sale" . date(m) .date(d) . date(y) . ".txt";       

$DOCUMENT_ROOT = "/home/betties/public_html/secureshop/"; 

$salefile = $DOCUMENT_ROOT . $myfile ;

 

[Mr_J]

the command is

include "filename.php";

or you can do it in HTML

in the <head>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
    
    function mainpage(){
        window.location="index.htm";
    }
</SCRIPT>
