Server Side

[Cassien]

Hi all, I've set up a PHP page and I'm getting the following error when I post it.

A file permissions error has occurred running this script.
Please check that the script and the directory that it's in are only writable by the site administrator.

Has anyone come across this before? I'm assuming it's a server side accounts issue.

Thanks to anyone who's got any ideas!

Insufficient data for a meaningful answer.

What does "and I'm getting the following error when I post it." mean?

Sorry...

I have uploaded the site to my server and when I try to view the page over the net I get the message...

Does any part of the script run at all?

No, I get a whole lot of nothing... just that message displayed in plain text in a white browser window

What web server are we talking about here?

Does your script do anything with file system manipulation functions before it produces output?

Not really, it reads from a database... no write action though. The database is MySql

It could be that the user as which your web server runs does not have sufficient permissions to the file.

ta, that's about all I could think of. Was just wondering if anyone else had any different angles on the situation.

Thanks for your help
