Good day,
I am working on a package to allow users to edit the full content of their webpages. Users progress through a series of forms, and once authenticated, are able to open a serialized object file (located outside the web directory tree), view the contents, and edit them. However, the user then cannot save that object back to disk.
Here's the catch: It works without a hitch under Fedora, but fails to write to disk under what I'm guessing (from the phpinfo() and what the person who maintains that server has said) is a slightly older version of Red Hat. Fedora is running Apache 2.x, and the older Red Hat server is running Apache 1.3x and PHP 4.3x
The permissions are correctly set on the folder containing the serialized files (777).
The folder is in the same relative path on both machines (I know the path is not an issue because the files do not fail to be read, only to be written).
Is there some setting in Apache or PHP configuration that would prevent a web user from writing to any file? I've poked around for that, but not found anything yet.
Is there something else obvious (or not so obvious) that I might be missing?
Thanks in advance
