Permissions

Okie. I need TWO more things for my father’s new site to go online!

  1. What permissions are necessary to accept file uploads? Is the path
    relative to the website or its physical spot on the file system? eg. my
    /public_html/foo/bar translates to
    /home/a-e/coinman/public_html/foo/bar on JD’s box. In PHP’s COPY()
    function do I specify the first (/public_html/foo/bar/file.blah) or the
    second (/home/a-e/coinman/public_html/foo/bar/file.blah)? And what
    permissions are necessary to accomidate this to the file structure?
    And, FWIW, only people who have been “authenticated” can upload files.

As a corellary, the error I get when I try to upload files now is:

Warning: Unable to create
‘/home/a-e/coinman/public_html/foo/bar/file.doc’: Permission denied in
/home/a-e/coinman/public_html/somephpfile.php on line 45 Could not copy
file: /tmp/php8mZFs9 to /home/a-e/coinman/public_html/foo/bar/file.doc

  1. JD, can you please recompile PHP to allow GD functions to work
    (Specifically with PNG!)? Pretty please? :wink:

Use the full path, and the directory your copying to has to be writeable
by the user nobody.

Ohh yeah, forgot about zlib support. :wink:

By the way, JD, what’s up with the “hidden” .shtml files??

That is usually a hacked computer.

Well you can chmod to 666, or grab one of those scripts that run as nobody
and do a 644 on it.

Oh and enable xml:)

Are you on independence? Everything with a file extension that starts with
an s is hidden like .sql or .shtml or .shit :wink:
