Has anyone ever used PHP (proven and successful) to CHMOD a directory through a Web Browser? My roadblocks are: (a) PHP script runs as "nobody" from the browser (b) directory above the one I want to CHMOD is owned by the ftp user and "nobody" does not have write permissions to it So when I try to chmod 0666 /usr/www/dirOwnedbyFTPuser/d...

I'm trying to use PHP to create a file, but it isn't working. I am assuming this is because it doesn't have write access (it's always been the problem before). I tried to test if this was the problem by making the folder chmod 0777, but that just ended up making every script in that directory return a 500 error message until I changed it...
The overall goal: Copy the permissions of files from the local filesystem when uploading them over FTP using PHP. The problem: While ftp_chmod appears to succeed, and according to the print statement in the code I'm setting the right permissions, it sets completely wrong permissions. The code: $perms = fileperms($src); if ($perms !==...
I have a webserver with multiple domain and user accounts setup. Recently I renamed one of the domain names and changed it's username correspondingly. However, this new user cannot access the data from the domain because it does not have the required permissions. How can I solve this problem? I've tried chown and I still cannot get acce...

Hi SO, I've got a LAMP webserver running my homepage (index.html in var/www/). I'd like to know in general how to set my file permissions so that browsers can't access anything besides the html/php files I want to show. Right now I've sort of accidentally chmodded everything to 777. I understand that .htaccess only protects the www fo...
The standard chmod privileges are "644" for files and "755" for directories, aren't they? In most cases, PHP doesn't need to write to files or directories. So couldn't I take the write privileges from all groups? I could assign "444" to all files and "555" to all directories. Wouldn't that be more secure? Thanks in advance! Note: ch...

On submit, all the information about the s...

Hello, Lets suppose I have a file with the permission 755 (rwxr-xr-x). I want to chmod g+rw to my file. To end up with 775. Whats the maths that takes place here to calculate that? I cant quite get my head around it thanks. Or similarly 640, to 660. Whats the formula taking place? http://articles.slicehost.com/2010/7/17/using-chmod-pa...
chmod -R 775 *.cgi only changes permissions on the files in the current directory, the files in the subdirectory don't get modified at all. This is the exact same functionality as simply doing chmod 775 *.cgi. I have seen people use solutions such as with find and whatnot. Ok great, but why does -R mode even exist if it doesn't even acco...
