Re: Script execution

Thanks everybody! I guess I was a little vague. I'm working on an OpenSUSE setup with Apache, MySQL and PHP. I just knew that my confusion was because of my Windows up-bringing. The writing I referred to was to a file. One example is I had a script that was pulling data from a database and using it to generate PDF files. This would work fine from the command line but _not_ if I pointed a browser at it. It wasn't an important difference because that script is a cronjob anyway. I just wanted to understand what was going on and how I could change it -- if I find later that I need to.

Give the user apache runs as permission to write to the directory where the PDF files are generated. I don't know what use apache run as on SuSE but if it was, say, www - as root: chown www /path/to/directory/where/you/want/the/output
