RE: [PHP] weird fopen problem

I copied you script and ran it no probelm. are you sure that apache is running as nobody? run ps -aux | grep httpd mine is like this apache 6320 0.0 5.8 49120 7248 ? S 10:54 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd - but yours might say nobody 6320 0.0 5.8 49120 7248 ? S 10:54 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd - Can you run the script as root? if not do you get the same errors? -----Original Message----- From: Jon Farmer [mailto:jonfarmer@enta.net] Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2002 11:08 AM To: PHP General Mailing List Subject: [PHP] weird fopen problem I am getting a the follwing error: Warning: fopen("/home/jon/pgpfiles/sgsdgsdg","w") - Permission denied in /home/ethiorg/public_html/test.php on line 2 Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /home/ethiorg/public_html/test.php on line 3 Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /home/ethiorg/public_html/test.php on line 4 from the following script: <? $file = fopen("/home/jon/pgpfiles/sgsdgsdg","w"); fputs($file, "this is a test\n"); fclose($file); ?> the directory /home/jon/pgpfiles has mode 777 and is owned by nobody and group is nobody.
