What is B:? Did you map B: to some drive?
</div>


<div>
Yes, I've been using B: and A: as drives for years.
</div>


<div>
So what did you map b: to? &quot;What is behind B&quot;?
</div>


<div>
It's a partition on a physical drive.
</div>


<div>
Could you localize the contents of &quot;line 708&quot;?
</div>


<div>
I think the clues are in the .log file name.<br />
<br />
Look at the filename closely. It's a relative filename, rather than absolute.<br />
<br />
This means, wherever Apache or FPM starts up, then you'd have to arrange to create the &quot;/xxxxxxxxxxx/&quot; directory relative to &quot;..&quot; for this to work.<br />
<br />
A recipe for disaster, as anytime your higher level (parent) directories change, then you'll have to manage their ownerships.<br />
<br />
First start with absolute files for all your logging.<br />
<br />
Once this works, you can (shudder) move to relative paths if you really must.<br />
<br />
I host 100s of high traffic + high speed WordPress sites. I make all PHP + Apache + MariaDB log file paths absolute, so I never have to guess about directory paths.<br />
<br />
Try this + see if your problem disappears.

You're devoting too much attention to that particular example I made. Apache (and therefore php) can't write anything anywhere on the machine. That was just an example, but I get similar errors every time there is a php write operation.<br />
<br />
The problem is with Wamp and permissions. There are tons of threads around but nobody seems to have found a solution working for everybody.
</div>


<div>
Ok, I caught it. It was an antiransomware routine I forgot about.
</div>


<div>
In regard of Everyone, look at <a href="https://weaselfire.wordpress.com/2009/07/09/everyone-isnt-everyone/" rel="ugc">https://weaselfire.wordpress.com/2009/07/09/everyone-isnt-everyone/</a><br />
<br />
If you run Apache ass Windows Service, then it runs in Session 0, another thing to learn here: <a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn653293(v=vs.85).aspx" rel="ugc">https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn653293(v=vs.85).aspx</a><br />
<br />
Session 0 is not seeing any drive mapping you do, so you can't let Apache access shares, no matter what permissions you set. So if B is created as a mapped drive letter and not really a physical drive, this won't work out. Apache/PHP might not consider B a local hard drive, as A and B are reserved for floppy drives, that might also play a role.<br />
<br />
If you look into Services in the task manager, you should find wampapache and wampmysqld services runing as LocalSystem account.<br />
If giving explicitly giving full permission to the Webroot folder to LocalSystem doesn't work, it fails on B:\ not visible to Session 0.<br />
<br />
Bye, Olaf.
</div>


<div>
No, B is a physical drive. It was the antiransomware locking httpd. Now it works. Thanks.
</div>


<div>
I started my answer before you posted the solution, so forget it. <br />
<br />
When you run httpd.exe you run a &quot;normal&quot; process under your account, then the whole stuff about Session 0 and LocalSystem won't matter anyway. But I also don't see much references to that. Running Wampserver really as service still is less popular than httpd. <br />
<br />
XAMPP also does so on Windows, simply runs httpd as normal process in your normal account.<br />
<br />
Bye, Olaf.

Hello, so I'm trying to mirror some website from my LAMP server to my Windows 10 PC.<br />
I am using WAMP server to do this but I have huge problems with permissions.<br />
<br />
Apache can't seem to write stuff anywhere. The service runs as local system and the SYSTEM user has full control. I also tried giving EVERYONE full control, it still doesn't work. I keep getting errors like this:<br />
<br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-10-29068790-1"><span>Warning: error_log(../xxxxxxxxxxx/00000b015e503ae39081e38d06f1652e822b20171116.log): failed to open stream: Permission denied in B:\Siti\xxxxxxxxx\xxx.php on line 708</span>
</code></pre>
<br />
I also tried running Apache as a local administrator, still no go.<br />
<br />
There must be a way to make this work. I have a CentOS vm on and I could use that, but it would be handier for me to go full local.<br />
Also, I can't stand things not working.

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.
