matfish Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Hi there, I have some documents uploaded to a directory. I'm trying an File Manager script but I'm unable to delete files. This being because the files I upload via FTP need to be chmod to 666 then it works. So I wrote a script to change all the files permissions in PHP but it doesnt work. If I look on the dedibox the chown permissions are: ftp_user:plesk but if I change to ftp_user:apache it doesnt work. If I change it to apache:apache - the online form works but then I do not have access via FTP. Any ideas what the correct chown should be for ftp_user and website use? Many thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/155209-file-permissions-issue/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Set the user to your user and set the group to the httpd's group. Then give owner and group identical permissions.

steviewdr Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 chown can only be done by root (not by apache, not by php). You'll need to get your php script to chmod 777 the files so you can delete them. -steve Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/155209-file-permissions-issue/#findComment-816546 Share on other sites More sharing options...
