Can you post the following command's output to the list or me personally if you think it's sensitive: ps awxu | grep 'apache|httpd' If apache is running as root as you say then it shouldn't have any problems doing anything (that's a very dangerous way to run apache btw). So either apache isn't running as root (maybe you think invoking the daemon causes it to run as root -- it doesn't), or PHP itself is causing the access denied problem (safe mode? base dir?).
