Re: Problem with Rename() and linux - update

It is the delete (unlink) portion that the page cannot execute. So, I assume this is a setting in my server conf? Apache is running as nobody, but nobody is not a valid user on my linux server. Is that the problem? If so, is the normal prcatice to have a user like 'web' and give all rights to that user? Alternatively I could do a copy and truncate to accomplish the same task, but this seems too laborious.
