ivey Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 i just checked and the root directory for my whole local host is set at permission 0644. how do i change this? i don't think i have permission to change my permissions, because when i try to put the following code: chmod ("phppractice/processor.php", 0777); i get this error message: Warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: Operation not permitted in /Users/ivey/Sites/permissions.php on line 8 thank you for your help!

ivey Posted August 25, 2007 Author Share Posted August 25, 2007 Thank you. I tried this though. here's my code: <?php echo substr(sprintf("%o",fileperms("permissions.php")),-4); chmod("phppractice/processor.php", 755); // decimal; probably incorrect chmod("phppractice/processor.php", "u+rwx,go+rx"); // string; incorrect chmod("phppractice/processor.php", 0755); // octal; correct value of mode ?> and here's the error i got: Warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: Operation not permitted in /Users/ivey/Sites/permissions.php on line 8 Warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: Operation not permitted in /Users/ivey/Sites/permissions.php on line 8 Warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: Operation not permitted in /Users/ivey/Sites/permissions.php on line 8 any ideas?

ivey Posted August 25, 2007 Author Share Posted August 25, 2007 AH! finally figured it out, so i thought i'd post it in case anyone else is having this problem - might be a little basic for this forum though... YOU can go into MAC's terminal! applications > utilities > terminal and then enter the following: chmod 755 filepath/filename.php you need to do this for all writeable files and you must make the file that you write TO 757: chmod 757 filepath/filename.txt Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/66683-solved-permissions/#findComment-334157 Share on other sites More sharing options...
