[xyn]

Hi guys,

 

Basically i'm attempting to create an installer for a little system

i am creating I'm currently having issues with fwriting the Config

file.

 

Basically I don't actually know the way to do it, or if there is an,

so if you know of any other way please let me know, otherwise

I'm getting the following problems...

 

The Error:

/config.php not writable

Sorry, but the congif file was not wrote.

 

My code is...

<?php
//fwrite config
chmod("../config.php", 0777);

$filename = "/config.php";
$config = '
<?PHP\r\n
$host	="'.secure($_POST['host']).'";\r\n
$login	="'.secure($_POST['db_user']).'";\r\n
$pwd	="'.secure($_POST['db_pass']).'";\r\n
$db		="'.secure($_POST['db_name']).'";\r\n
$conn	= mysql_connect("$host", "$login", "$pwd") or die("SQL Connect Error: ".mysql_error());\r\n
mysql_select_db($db, $conn) or die("SQL Database Error: ".mysql_error());\r\n
?>
';

if (is_writable($filename))
{
if(!$handle = fopen($filename, 'W+'))
{
	echo("config wont open");
	exit;
}

if(fwrite($handle, $config) === FALSE)
{
	echo ("<P align=left>/config.php not writable<BR>Sorry, but the config file was not wrote.</P>");
	exit;
}
   fclose($handle);
}
else
{
echo ("<P align=left>/config.php not writable<BR>Sorry, but the config file was not wrote.</P>");
exit;
}
}
chmod("../config.php", 0644);
?>

Is the webserver the owner of the file? If I remember my linux permissions correctly you must be the owner of the file or root to change the permissions of it.

 

As well, since you have the same error message in there for 2 different places, could you change one of them slightly so you know which one it's printing out?

the error comes around the file not being writable...

 

except, its already on 0777, and thats without the script doing it :s
