Re: chmod difficulties...

you can have apache SU to a user with enough permissions to do what you are trying :) (passthru('SU ...')) Scott Fletcher wrote:

Hi, I'm using the AIX or UNIX system... When I tried the ... --snip-- passthru('chmod -R a+rw ../WebHelp/* 2>&1'); --snip-- I get an error message, "Operation Is Not Permitted".. So, I tried other option... --snip-- chmod("../WebHelp/", 0755); --snip-- I get an error message, "Warning: chmod(): Not owner in <<filepath>> on line 13".. Problem here is that Apache use hte account, "nobody" and is used as "other" when it come to file permission. (Not the "file owner" or "group")... The rest of the website files are in a different user account and have different ownership:group... Does anyone encountered this situation and does anyone every have a workaround to it to your knowledge?? Thanks, Scott
