dibyajyotig Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Hi friends, ??? i m really puzzled with the following error i m getting with my php-script... i actually want to design a form in php, which will take some job information (text format only) from user... and will create an xml file named job1.xml. if he wants to submit more jobs, then he will again enter its info and job2.xml will be created... that way it will go on creating new files....till FINISH button is pressed.. but i m not getting rid of the following error.... my platform is - apache2.2 , php5 , linux(fedora core 7) Warning: fopen(xml_files/job1.xml) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /opt/lampp/htdocs/phpxml/index.php on line 44 NOTE : but the same script is working in windows platform...absolutely fine!!

pdkv2 Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 You need to set the write permission to the apache user for the directory where you are creating the files.

pdkv2 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 to change the permission to write the directory chmod 750 /path/to/directory And to change the user and group chown -R user.group /path/to/directory thats all Cheers!

pdkv2 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 see the user list in your /etc/apache2/uid.conf file and use that user for setting the file permissions Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/89322-permission-denied-to-fopen-function/#findComment-458638 Share on other sites More sharing options...
