copy() error

[earthlingzed]

I have just switched servers and am running a script that recursively copies some files to install an instance of a site and now for some reason I am getting some errors coming from the copy() function.

error says: failed to open stream: Permission denied

I did some research and saw that if safe mode is on you can get some permission problems. I have safe mode turned off and the problem persists.

Anyone got any ideas for me?

my thought is that php is running under a different username than the owner of the files.
check if php is running as nobody and see who owns the files. you many need to chmod them to something high where group and public have more permissions.
