chmod() problem

[KolNedra]

I've created a small webboard so members could post things on that board, the script works fine, only I have chmod() problem:

The txt file I write the board to isin this directory: "

http://www.eliteteam.f2s.com/storage/board1.txt"

and I created a small php script that looks like this:

<?php
chmod(&quot;board1.txt&quot;, 0666);
?>

and place the script in &quot;

http://www.eliteteam.f2s.com/storage/index.php3&quot;

now I loaded that script and this error popped up:

&quot;Warning: chmod failed: Operation not permitted in /web/sites/65/kolnedra/

http://www.eliteteam.f2s.com/storage/index.php3

on line 9&quot;

The ISP also gave me this information:

Your full directory path for use in cgi/php scripts is:
/web/sites/65/kolnedra/

http://www.eliteteam.f2s.com

Could someone please help me!

Hi Kol,
Even though your user_id is able to chmod the file, it doesn't mean the php script can do it aswell. You need to find out what user_id the script is running under.
the php script will run under the user_id of the web server (most of the time) . Thus you have to make sure your
webserver user_id has write permission for the file.


cheers
