Re: What do I tell my host provider

Yeah, I have tried various permission schemes on the files and directory. Nothing seems to work as PHP writes the file as rw -- -- Problem is my domain isn't in the same group that php is writing the file as. I have never compiled php into apache. Is this something that is set when you compile php or is it the write permissions of the user php is running under that dictate the permissions of the file php writes <- don't know if that make sense :/ If the latter is true, how does a hosting provider resolve this when offering php as a module? Thanks, Kevin > >What is the best way to communicate this problem to my host. What is the >solution? I don't actually understand how php can upload a file, move a >file and then write itself out of the permission realm In unix, you can alter the permissions on any file you own, and you can lock yourself out. You can make a file write-only! Root, of course, can override all permissions. It may be not the permissions, but the ownership of the file. If you have shell access, do a ls -l, and see the permissions and ownership. -- Dave's Engineering Page: http://www.dvanhorn.org Got a need to read Bar codes? http://www.barcodechip.com Bi-directional read of UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-8, EAN-13, JAN, and Bookland, with two or five digit supplemental codes, in an 8 pin chip, with NO external parts.
