Or >should I talk to admin to give user permission? --------------------[snip]-------------------- Create a subdirectory in your home directory, e.g. "webcache". Then make it world-writeable: mkdir ~/webcache chmod 777 ~/webcache Now create a small script that creates a file in webcache (you must use the full path to that directory, the webserver doesn't know about your "~" home shortcut): <?php $hf = fopen('/home/jiang/webcache/test', 'w'); echo 'Creating the file ', ($hf ? 'succeeded' : 'failed'); ?> After running this script once there should be a file in ~/webcache. Try to list it: ls -l ~/webcache -rw-r--r-- 1 apache www 0 May 22 22:50 test Now you see which user and which group the web server uses - in this example it's the user "apache", group "www" (most probably different at your site). Since you don't want the webcache directory to be world read/writeable, change its GID to the web servers GID, then remove the dangerous world rights: chown :www ~/webcache chmod 770 ~/webcache Now you and the webserver will be able to read and write to ~/webcache, but no one else. (Of course you may delete the "test" file after that...) Hope this helps, -- >O Ernest E. Vogelsinger (\) ICQ #13394035 ^ http://www.vogelsinger.at/
