Can't access files uploaded through php - php

I have a server hosted with A Small Orange, smallest plan, running CentOS 6.5 with cPanel and WHM. I have set up an account in WHM, and I was having problems being able to mkdir or upload files, which was resolved when I changed the PHP Handler on cPanel to suphp.
Files will upload now, but I can't access them when they are uploaded.
Running whoami from PHP prints the Website account users name (site1), who is also the owner of all files in that clients public_html folder.
I am getting the error below when trying to upload files, not sure where I am going wrong really
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /uploads/project/3/img.png on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

You should ask your host like the people in the comments are suggesting. If your code is successfully uploading your files and you then get a permission error you will want to contact whoever managers your server.
Also, how are you accessing them?

Can't write to a remote server location with PHP but I can browse and write to it in File Explorer?

Sorry if this a repeat of a question that has been asked before but I have not been able to find my exact situation. We are trying to migrate our website server from a Windows 10 VM (yes I know) to a Windows Server 2019 VM. We have some PHP on our site that writes files to some of our other servers on the same domain and have been able to do so without issue using file_put_contents like so:
file_put_contents("\\\\server\\folder\\folder\\folder\\".$filename, $file);
Now all of a sudden, to run the same code on our new server I get a Warning on this line, "Failed to open stream: Permission denied". I have permission to access this folder, I can browse to \server\folder\folder\folder and create a file there. I even tried mapping this server to a letter drive on my new web server, and still same error. I can put the file on the local C drive just fine but that's it.
Running fileperms on the folder path gives Warning: fileperms(): stat failed. Running is_writable on the folder path returns false, I just can't see how. Running it on the old Windows 10 web "server" returns true. I've read some things about needing to enable certain settings on the server you're trying to access, but I just can't think of what would allow one VM to access it and not another. Both VM's are logged in with the same user with admin rights. I can bring up the same folder in file explorer and write to it, just not via PHP. What obvious thing am I missing?
Thanks!
After weeks of banging our heads against the wall we finally figured this out. On our old web server, when right-clicking the website from the Sites file tree in IIS, under Manage Website -> Advanced Settings, the Physical Path Credentials field was set to the credentials needed to access these folders. On the new server it was blank. I'm not sure how this got missed but in any case, after entering the correct credentials here everything immediately worked.

PHP can't open uploaded files

I have Ubuntu Server with lamp.
When i uploading files like xls or images it works fine, but when I trying to open it says me that the Excel file was broken. Same thing happens with images
Is it possible that php changes the file?
Permissions for /var/www/publick_html/uploads is 777
well, I know,I use windows and maybe this is extremely OFF TOPIC, but I have a simililar problem with uploaded files and my experience can be usefull for other people.
In my case, the uploaded file can not be open because it was written first in
C:\Windows\Temp
and then moved to the upload directory, but my temp folder doesn t have permission to access to it. Infact, if I click on temp folder I see:
After I clicked "Continue", the problem has been solved!
The problem was in versions of apache and php.
Version of apache was 2.2 and php was 5.4
I upgraded my apache to 2.4 version and now it works fine.
This should solve your problem with being unable to open uploaded files with PHP on SQL SERVER. It solved mine.
You may come across the following problem using PHP on Microsoft IIS: getting permission denied errors from the move_uploaded_file function even when all the folder permissions seem correct. I had to set the following to get it to work:
Write permissions on the the folder through the IIS management console.
Write permissions to IUSR_'server' in the folder's security settings.
Write permissions to "Domain Users" in the folder's security settings.
The third setting was required because my application itself lives in a secure folder - using authentication (either Basic or Windows Integrated) to identify the users. When the uploads happen IIS seems to be checking that these users have write access to the folder, not just whether the web server (IUSR_'server') has access.
Also, remember to set "Execute Permissions" to "None" in the IIS management console, so that people can't upload a script file and then run it. (Other checks of the uploaded file are recommended as well but 'Execute None' is a good start.)

Permission Denied on move_uploaded_file to another server in IIS

I have a PHP web application running on IIS, which allows a user to upload a file from a simple html form. The uploaded file is then moved to a folder on another server. This is working correctly on Apache, but fails on IIS with the error:
function['move_uploaded_file']failed to open stream: Permission denied
in...
I've checked all the permissions on the directories. If I run a simple PHP script through the command line to copy a file from the server into the folder on the other server it works correctly, so I suspect the problem is with IIS.
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES ["file"] ["tmp_name"], "\\\\000.00.0.00\\tia\\web\\upload\\" .$_FILES["file"]["name"])) {
This has been covered already here. Quoting the reason here:
You have mapped target directory to a share such as \server2\files. These mappings are only available to the current users (eg, the admin account), not to the IUSR account that your php is probably running as (assuming IIS). Solution, don't use mappings, instead use the full 'unc' path name, ie '\server\share\folder\file.ext', also remember that the IUSR account will need access to these shares/folders/files
From what I can see in your comment, you are using a \\ prefixed network share as the target for your move_uploaded_file() operation.
I'll bet a beer that PHP isn't allowed to access that share. Remember, PHP runs with IIS's permissions!
Try saving to a local, globally writable path first. If that works, you know you have to fix the share's permissions.

401 error on iis when uploading files via PHP

I have an upload script that runs on a windows webserver 2008. The uploads works nice, the file is created on the server. But when I try to access the uploaded image file via http, I just get an error 401. How can I resolve this?
EDIT: setting the chmod to 0777 after the file has been uploaded did not help, too.
That did it: https://serverfault.com/questions/85983/iis-iusrs-cannot-access-files-uploaded-and-created-by-network-service-error-401/229151#229151
For security reasons, many websites sequester uploaded files until they are validated, at which time they are made publicly accessible. If this is the cause, you'd have to ask the site's administration.
So to summarize : one of the solutions is :
Edit "upload_tmp_dir" inside of php.ini and for example set to "C:\my_temp_folder"
Than right click to folder and security tab than give modify permission to the IUSRS user ;)

Permissions problem when uploading images using PHP in IIS

We have just moved a website to a new server, both servers are Windows Server 2003 running IIS as the web server.
When uploading images we require that the uploaded files have certain permissions for the NETWORK SERVICE account. Images are uploaded using PHP, they are then filtered by ImageMagick using the mogrify.exe binary for resizing purposes and placed in a new folder created by PHP.
The problem we are encountering is that the uploaded file does not inherit the NETWORK SERVICE permissions although the folder does.
I ran filemon to see any errors and get the following:
mogrify.exe:6396 OPEN C:\inetpub\wwwroot\example.com\data\334480\test.jpg ACCESS DENIED NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE
The reason we require NETWORK SERVICE access is due to an ASP.NET script we use to resize the image on the fly. I've searched Google but cannot find a solution. Any ideas?
Managed to fix the issue, I changed the upload tmp dir in php.ini to C:\Test and gave Test the permissions I required, I had already made this change but on further inspection upload_tmp_dir is set twice in the php.ini file. Uploaded files inherit the permissions of the temporary directory.
Have you made sure the "NETWORK SERVICE" ACL applies to "This folder, sub-folders and files", wherever it is applied. Also, try making a new folder somewhere else with that same ACL and see if files created by PHP inherit the permission.
