mkdir() failed (Permission denied)

ElectricMessiah

Hi,

I am getting mkdir() failed (Permission denied) when calling mkdir($foo, 0777);
I have looked over my php.ini file and do not see where I could change this permissions issue.

Anyone have any idea?

Thanks!

Yes you do not have access to write dir's from the file. You will need to change your permissions. Use a 775 or 777. Check with your ISP and this has nothing to to with your php.ini file btw. 😃 Take care and hope it all helped!

Thanks for the reply.

The script is running on my local machine which is winXP pro with IIS 5 and PHP 4.
I assume I need to give 777 access to php scripts but thought maybe that was somewhere in php.ini. Is there somwthing else that could be causing this?

:: Maybe a little off topic ::
I am also experiencing an error where I get "HTTP/1.1 502 Gateway Error Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.1 Date: Fri, 14 Feb 2003 19:27:08 GMT Connection: close Content-Length: 186 Content-Type: text/html CGI Timeout The specified CGI application exceeded the allowed time for processing. The server has deleted the process. ". I have set php.ini max_execution_time to 86400 (more than enough). Is this an error given by IIS? And where can I get more info on this? (I have tried search various places.)

Thanks again.

OMG IIS!!! GESSUS! I HATE IIS! Get apache for the love of god! www.apache.org GET IT! It runs circles around IIS in a hearbeat. PLUS you don't have to pay bill anymore money. Which is always a good thing. Hmm... you can FTP into your own box and use an FTP program to set the permissions. Which you can use Bullet FTP Server (www.download.com (trial only) ) and then do it from any WS-FTP program or something like that. Other than that just get a crappy computer you hate and put a form of Linux or Unix on it (http://www.slackware.com/getslack/) and run your stuff from there. After you get the server working all nice and clean and you give your file permission to create a directory and whatnot then you will be good to roll.

Good luck!
