Re: chmod on win xp

This goes only for Windows XP Pro, Home edition doesn't have this. Go to [Explorer window] -> Tools -> Folder Options -> View::Advanced Settings List. And the last option in it says "Use simple file sharing (Recommended)"... well recommended my ass, uncheck it. /Donny mayo wrote:

I must be missing something because right clicking on the file (in explorer) doesn't give me the option to change read - write - execute. All I get is Read-only and Hidden check boxes. And, they're not checked the check boxes are clear. I can do everything else I need to do, but I can't fopen. $fp = fopen($filename,"w") or die ("Couldn't open $filename!"); I get: Warning: fopen("abc.php","w") - Permission denied in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ ... I get the same error when I try to touch a file Warning: unable to create file abc.php because Permission denied in c:\inetpub\wwwroot ... The same file works on my ISP's server. thx, Gil -----Original Message----- From: David Tod Sigafoos [mailto:dsig@teleport.com] Sent: Sunday, January 18, 2004 4:59 AM To: Gil Subject: Re: [PHP-WIN] chmod on win xp You can set the rights on XP (or any windows os) from the Explorer window.
