The script whose uid is 503 is not allowed to access /home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/data/subdir owned by uid 0 witch gave my a few hours messing around until i finally discovered that i just forgot to create the dir in mention. however - if php had given me a more precise error, i would have saved a lot of time. when it comes down to it, safemode had nothing to do with the real problem. Reproduce code: --------------- [index.php : begin] <?php $dir = "/home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/data/subdir"; $handle = opendir($dir); ?> [index.php : end] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27498&edit=1
