Hi all I am in the process of creating an installer for my php application. During the test proces, it does this: isdir(root)?>create dir root ok?>chmod 0777 isdir(root/child)?>create dir root/child ok?>chmod 0777 isdir(root/child/grandchild)?>create dir root/child/grandchild ok?>chmod 0777 The script fails on the grandchild part:

when you are testing your script does 'child' already exist? does the chmod(777) actually change the perms? what dirs exists before you start the test? (and what are the perms?) ... try doing an 'ls -Rt' on the 'root' dir.

stat failed for /root/child/grandchild (errno=13 - Permission denied) when I try to force the hand and create it anyway: mkdir() failed (Permission denied) The files/directories are owned by the 'nobody' user... the same as the apache&php user. Anybody know how to remedy this problem? With kind regards Andy
