Re: creating files in OS X

Hi Paul: Thanks, that worked. Cheers, David On Sunday, August 11, 2002, at 07:11 PM, Paul Colcutt wrote:

Hi, you need to set the permissions for the directory youre creating the file in. Try typing (or copy and paste): chmod 777 /Library/WebServer/Documents/dev into Terminal... should do the trick. Two neat apps you can use for setting permissions and ownership via a GUI: 'Super GetInfo' by BareBones Software http://www.barebones.com/ and 'BatChmod' Freeware by Renaud Boisjoly http://www.macchampion.com/arbysoft

Hi: I'm new to PHP. I'm running Apache/PHP/MySQL on Mac OS X 10.1.5 (PHP 4.1.2) and everything is working well except that I cannot create a file through PHP. If I create a file I can subsequently read/write from PHP, but only after I change its file permissions to read/write for everyone. When I run the code: if (!file_exists($filename)) { if (touch ($filename)) { print "$filename created"; } else { die( "Sorry Could Not create $filename"); } } I get the following: Warning: unable to create file test.text because Permission denied in /Library/WebServer/Documents/dev/testcreate.php on line 10 It's obviously a permissions problem but do not know what exactly to change nor where/how to change it.
