RE: [PHP] mkdir permission errors

Hi, Wolf: Like I guessed, I am still defined as the root user. [root@localhost html]# php test.php root root/var/www/html /var/www/html This is the output I have got from using your script. I have made a following quick change: [root@localhost var]# chown -R root:root . Not surprisingly, I am still not able to make a new directory using PHP with the HTTP. Could there be anything else I missed?

Make sure that the path you are in has the correct permissions. Wolf
