can't write to a directory inside 'htdocs'

[idorjee]

hi guys,
could you plz tell me why i can't write something into a directory which inside the '../apache2/htdocs/' using the perl line 'open(OUTPUT,">result/blast_fasta_input");', where 'result' is a directory inside the 'htdocs'. quite surprisingly, it works fine (writes) when i do this: open(OUTPUT,">/tmp/blast_fasta_input");,although i can't read the file from there.
following is how the file permission look like for both the '../apache2/htdocs/result' and the '/tmp':
drwxr-xr-x 2 root other 512 Mar 29 14:47 result
drwxrwxrwt 5 root sys 847 Mar 29 14:44 tmp

thanks

This may be do to an selinux setting. Do you have selinux installed and activated?
