MkDir Failed

darrensw

I have searched and seen a few questions about this but no real solution.

Here is the code I use:

umask(0);
$full_path = '/home/demo/html/'.$name;
if (!file_exists($full_path)){
mkdir ($full_path, 0777);
}

and I get:
Warning: MkDir failed (Permission denied) in /home/demo/html/static/newdir.html on line 259

How can I fix this?...I am on a dedicated server.

Is it a case that I have to change the permissions on newdir.html?

All help much appreciated.

Thanks and regards

it seems that php dont suficiant access to /home/httpd/html/ on your server.. If you are in the same user group as php i suggest that you chmod 771 /home/httpd/html/

That sould get ridth of the error

hi Andreas...

Thanks for that, it half worked...i used 777 by the way not 771 as that still did not allow me to create it.

Now, what happens is that the directory is created but i cannot do anything with it as it is not assigned a user or group. I presumed it would be given the same user and group as the file creating the dir, but obviously not. I end up with this:

drwx------ 3 nobody nogroup 1024 Mar 15 06:23 fire/

Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks

Darren

I'm experienceing the same thing.
The wierd bit is that the chgrp()
and the chown() dont' work even if you try to use them when creating the dierctory originally.
