File Upload Denied on Redhat 6.2

[Anon]

Hi,

Can any one hel with this. My ISP (running Apache & Redhat 6.2) have informed me that I have global write permission to my directory (CHMOD 777). I am using the most basic file upload script there is - see below. The ISP have given me this path as absolute - /home/httpd/html/sitesphp/domain/directory - I always get this error -
Warning: Unable to create '/home/httpd/html/sitesphp/www.hotelwestport.ie/cws/tmp': Permission denied in /home/httpd/html/sitesphp/www.hotelwestport.ie/cws/send.php on line 4

Any help would be most appreciated - steve

This could be a few things. Your account (probably ftp) probably has access to write to your directory. The problem is, who is the webserver running as? Depending on the version of apache, it may be "apache" or "www". Whoever the webserver is running as needs to have permissions to write. This wouldn't matter since your directory is chmod'd to 777. You should check the permissions on /home, /home/httpd, /home/httpd/html, etc. These directories need to be writable by the apache user since they are the parents of your directory.
