Permissions

[Gronk]

Hello!

I'm trying to execute mkdir(test); Simple.

But the directory is not being created. 

My only guess is that the web server doesn't have the proper rights to make that directory.

I chmod to 777, but still no go.

I was going to change the owner, but I don't know what to change it to.

Can anyone help me get mkdir(); to work?

Thank you.

Whose permission are you changing? Bare in mind, when a PHP script is run through an HTTP request, it's being run as a guest. The guest needs access to the directory.

Then I guess I want Guest to have permissions to create the Directory.

I need to create the directory when a new Customer is being added to the Data Base. This way there will be a folder to upload pix and other files later.

I'm not getting an error.  The code is just not creating a folder.  But it will execute the rest of the code, such and moving to the next page.

I check some of my settings.  PHP Safe mode is not enabled.

I can not create folders or upload pix. 

 

How do I get an error message that is helpful.  mkdir("temp") or die("did not make dir");

Only errors "did not make dir".  Not very helpful.

 

I'm sure it's probably a config issue, but I don't know where.

 

I had a server with fedora 3 and upload worked find.

I'm using fedora 10 now.

So that's it?  There is no help for me?  I'm S.O.L.? 

Ok Thanks anyway.

Turn up (and on!) your error reporting levels. Use error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT); ini_set('display_errors', '1'); somewhere before the mkdir line.
