[RESOLVED] mkdir ownership

[cretaceous]

I am having problems with an image upload and directory creation function

I have an identical script that runs fine on my own domain but not on another
domain - yet both are on the very same VPS

Both routines are creating directories with the owner shown as 'apache' (which I understand) and permissions are 0777

but when I try to upload images I can only upload via my script to newly created directories on my domain and not the other domain
(this is all within its own domain of course)

all parent directories were created via the ftp owner
If I manually create an image directory via ftp it is ok to upload to

I will try the ftp_mkdir functions but it seems weird that it works on one domain but not the other

the only difference I can think of is the folder structure is deeper on the working one

(damn, the rubber duck on the monitor hasn't responded..)

Where's the code? Hard to help without seeing what you're working with.

yes good point...

function createfolder($dirpath,$nufolder){
   if (!file_exists($dirpath.'/'.$nufolder))
        {
        $dirpath.='/';
        $oldumask = umask(0);
        if (!mkdir("$dirpath{$nufolder}", 0777)) $failmsg='Directory not created';
        umask($oldumask);
      }
        if ($failmsg) return $failmsg;
   }
 

the above creates directories owned by apache...
but on one domain I CAN upload to them but on the other I cannot
- the only difference is the directory depth

the relevant part of image upload script is:

createfolder(($rt_dir.$ddir_arr[$i]),$ref_id);
$dst = ImageCreateTrueColor($opwd,$opht);
ImageCopyResampled($dst, $src, 0, 0, 0, 0,$opwd,$opht,$wd,$ht);
ImageJpeg($dst, $rt_dir.$ddir_arr[$i].'/'.$ref_id.'/'.$new_file_name, 75);
ImageDestroy($dst);

I have the ftp workaround running ok but it's still odd

right - my fault
I'd managed to leave PHP safe mode 'On' in the VPS settings for the second domain
