Please help me with this error message failed to open stream: Permission denied

[monteoma]

Hi guys,

 

I'm developing a web application to read some files that are included in my intranet the problem is that all the time I'm getting the next error: "failed to open stream: Permission denied" and is impossible to read them. I'm using apache web server running on winxp and my php version is 5.3.0. I'm using to do that the next code:

 

<?php

 

$file = fopen("//servername/shared/TMPFiles/file.txt","r") or exit("Unable to open file!");

 

while(!feof($file))

{

echo fgets($file). "<br />";

}

 

//some code to be executed

 

fclose($file);

?>

 

In fact my text file called file.txt has permissions for reading and writing. Any suggestion to solve it?

 

Thanks in advanced!

I may be wrong, but are UNC paths supported?? I did not realize that they are. I would start with your path.

 

I have fought with this error before and it always ended up being a path issue.

Try mapping the network drive to a letter then see what you get..

 

also try changing apache service LogOn, from system to "this account"
