How NOT to Require CHMOD 755 Permissions To Create, Write and Delete Files?


Recommended Posts

Hi!

 

On my previous server and on some other hosts, I was able to write to files (for example with PHP) without having to chmod the files first.

 

Now I cannot, and files are required to be chmoded properly so I can write to them.

 

I cannot even touch() a file with PHP.

 

Is there any way to have this permissions removed?

 

I don't want to chmod the all thing, all I want is to change the configurations so I can fwrite() or file_put_contents() normally.

 

I's a dedicated un-managed server, so basically any advanced configurations can be done.

 

Please help!  :-\

 

Thank you in advance!

If I want the server to be able to read and write files I do something like:

 

chown -R user:group /path/to/location
chmod -R ug+rw /path/to/location

 

"group" is the group that you have apache running under.

 

 

If I want the server to be able to read and write files I do something like:

 

chown -R user:group /path/to/location
chmod -R ug+rw /path/to/location

 

"group" is the group that you have apache running under.

 

 

 

Hi, and thank you for your fast reply.

 

So, is that the only option? CHMOD?

 

And it is secure? I mean, I have run my code for the last 3 years with no problems on the old server....

 

However I was running PHP as a CGI module. Don't know if has something to do with that.

 

 

 

If I understand what you are saying, you mean that when you create the files they are not made with proper permissions for you to manipulate(read/write/execute) them?

 

That may be a setting on the server that automatically assigns that privilege, and you may be able to get it changed if you have root access.
