move_uploaded_f ile isn't working

Stijn Goris

HI all,

I have created a script that allows a user to upload a picture. I have an
IIS server runing on my own pc but the actual site runs an Apache server.
The upload script worked perfectly on my IIS but refuses to work on the
Apache.

All I know is that the script stops working at move_uploaded_f ile()
function. The warnings echo'ed are:
Warning: move_uploaded_f ile(images/nieuws/TIDEEY%7E1.jpg) : failed to open
stream: Permission denied in
/scout/users/yyy/public_html/cgi-bin/pictures/class.UploadPic ture.php on
line 108

Warning: move_uploaded_f ile(): Unable to move '/tmp/phphEjKUh' to
'images/nieuws/TIDEEY%7E1.jpg' in
/scout/users/yyy/public_html/cgi-bin/pictures/class.UploadPic ture.php on
line 108

I also echo the $_FILES['imageFile']['error'] which returns a 0 (no error at
all). I first do a is_uploaded_fil e() which returns no errors at all. The
nieuws dir has 766 rules applied.

Maybee someone can help me out?

Thanks
Stijn

Ask your users the correct syntax for the directory to upload files.

Also the directory you have to create on the Apache server must have
permission. Change permission to 777.

Without access permission you can read and write files--you just can't get
directory listings.

Yes, and no. The directory needs to be executable or you can't cd to it
(needed to write into it). However, the files themselves only need
write+read. Therefore, if you have existing files:

chmod 777 dirname
chmod 666 dirname/*

Without access permission you can read and write files--you just can't get
directory listings.

Without search permission (what I prefer to call x permission as
applied to directories), you may be able to read the directory
(depends on read permission), but you cannot access any files under
that directory. A mode 444 directory is pretty much useless (except
to root), as all you can do is list the files you can't access.
The same applies to a mode 666 directory (you can't create files,
either). A mode 111 directory allows you to access the files and
directories in it (subject to their permissions) *IF* you can guess
their names.

Permissions like 755 or 750 or 700 or 777 are more normal for
directories. The octal digits 2, 3, 4, or 6 are fairly unusual in
directory permissions, and in my experience, it's usually a mistake
(although I'm not claiming there is absolutely NO use for these).
