Question

Unix permissions to allow PHP script to create files in directory outside of webroot.

Asked by: RQuadling

Hi.

I've got a folder which is parallel to my public_html folder. The folder's permissions is set to 0666 (as seen through cpanel).

The files in the folder all are set to 0000 - which isn't what I want.

When I try to write new files to this folder I don't have permissions.

If I try to change the permissions, I'm told I don't have permission.

The server is a Linux machine with a kernel of 2.6.18-92.1.18.el5xen (just copied this from cpanel - I'm a windows person so I'm guessing on the relevance).

The cpanel is 11.24.4-RELEASE 36167 with the x3 theme. (Again, just read from page - not my AOE).

So.

Q1 - How do I set the permissions so that the files are read/writable to anyone?
Q2 - How do I alter the permissions on the current files?

Hi,

You can use php script to do that like:

@chmod($dir, 0777)

@chmod($filename, 0666)

Hi,

I don't need execute rights. The files are CSV and PDF files.

The folder already has enough permissions.

The issue isn't PHP. I can't change the file permissions in cpanel.

 

by: shobinsunPosted on 2009-10-26 at 03:49:01ID: 25660983

Hi,

can you edit the permission header tab in the cpanel belongs to each files in the directory?

Just click on it and edit and click on the OK button.

Right?

 

by: shobinsunPosted on 2009-10-26 at 03:50:08ID: 25660988

Hi,

if Still you cudnt do that, you have no permission to do the changes .

So login as a privileged user.

Hi,

Change the script to :

<?php
$s_Directory = '/domains/home/raq/cleanup';
 
echo "$s_Directory : ", (chmod($s_Directory, 0777) ? 'Pass' : 'Fail'), '<br />';
 
foreach(glob("$s_Directory/*.*") as $s_File)
        {
        echo "$s_File : ", (chmod($s_File, 0666) ? 'Pass' : 'Fail'), '<br />';
        }

Changed and no difference to output.

Can you explain why allowing execute rights would be needed?

As I previously said, I can't make the changes via cpanel either.

I have full access (as far as I can tell). There is no option to create users in cpanel (that I can see).

I login with my domain name (rather than any other user name).

Hello,

Do you have shell access? If yes check whether there is any attribute set to the corresponding folder or file.

Use the following command to remove the attributes via ssh.

chattr -i foldername/filename
chattr -a foldername/filename

Hope this helps.

Well b*gger me.

Used cpanel to set the execute bit and things are working again.

Clearly unix's permissions are inferior to those on windows if execute === read/write.

Next time, I'll actually listen! Honest.
