File upload problem

[federicog]

I developed a simple file manager a while ago in it worked perfectly until we switched hosting.

Now I can't upload files to any folder created through the file manager. If I create a folder in FTP, I can then upload anything to it using the file manager.

I suppose the problem is that when I create a directory from php it has different user & group than when I create it using FTP, since both folders get the right permissions (777).

Any ideas on how to solve this problem? safe_mode is enabled... could that be the problem?

Thanks

Hi,

php script is executed by apache. So using it if u create a directory then apache becomes the user of the directory. As a result u can't upload a file in that dir. To solve this u need to give the permission (777) and change the user of the dir using the same or different php script.

I don't understand. If apache creates a directory, why can't it also upload files to it? I tried changing owner with chown and chgrp but it didn't work, and the directory already has chmod 777 :(

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

I hope u r getting some error. If not try to get the error then it will easier to understand the problem. Still it seems to me some permission problem happening.

The XAMMP package contains php, Apache and an FTP application Filezilla. They all seem compatible and I have Filezilla running to download files from a remote to a local server. I can't remember how I configured it, but Filezilla and Apache are compatible

I finally got error_reporting working (damn display_errors was set to Off by default) and this is what I get:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(): SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 10022 is not allowed to access /var/www/vhosts/x.com/httpdocs/admin/archivos/test owned by uid 48 in /var/www/vhosts/x.com/httpdocs/admin/sections/files_publish.php on line 26

I'll try disabling safe_mode, but I think it's not something I can set.
