the directory you are in needs to allow the user apache or nobody (depends
on your setup) to allow the creation of files.
Simpler to do this
create a dir within the dir you are in, call it _write or some thing to that
effect.
from the command line
mkdir _write
chmod 777 _write
then adust you script as so.
file: ok (permission 755)
----------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
echo abc >> ./_write/abc.txt
this way any script can create a file in the _write dir.
*or* you have to create the file abc.txt with nothing in it and make it
writable
