I'm trying to implement script that will allow a file to be uploaded, and then moved to a designated directory. This is running on a Windows server & IIS. I'm having 2 issues in doing so.
First, I get an error when trying to move the file.
Warning: move_uploaded_file(reports/ff.jpg) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\betterinsight\betterinsight\upload_file.php on line 29
Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move 'C:\Windows\Temp\php1EAB.tmp' to 'reports/ff.jpg' in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\betterinsight\betterinsight\upload_file.php on line 29
Stored in: reports/ff.jpg
When searching, almost everything says it's a permission problem. I have added full rights (will pare down later) to the user: IIS_IUSRS. Even did it to the parent directory as one site recommended.
Second: As a possible solution to the above issue, I tried changing the directory in which files are saved. But the files are still uploaded into C:\windows\temp.
I've run phpinfo, and it says that uploads should be in (as defined by upload_tmp_dir):
Again, this is on a Windows Server 2008. Thanks.
Permission denied
You need to set the folder permissions to 777 or enable read write to the folder. I think the permissions are messing...
OK, the answer was simple. I was adding permissions for user: IIS_USRS, when it should have been just user: USRS.

I've used move_uploaded_file successfully in the past, however I'm having an issue with permissions I believe with a new server I'm testing this on. I've created a folder named "uploads" for the uploads to be moved to via FTP. Here's a screenshot showing the permissions:
Everyone has read/write access, but when I upload a file I'm getting an error on the line that moves the file to the "uploads" directory:
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['photo1']['tmp_name'], $upload_directory.$uploadedFile)) {
The file is not moved to the "uploads" folder and looking at the server log I can see entries like this:
php[1344]
PHP Warning: move_uploaded_file(uploads/2.jpg): failed to open stream: Permission denied in C:\Program Files\FileMaker\FileMaker Server\HTTPServer\conf\test_upload\index.php on line 206
PHP Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move 'C:\Windows\Temp\php2D93.tmp' to 'uploads/2.jpg' in C:\Program Files\FileMaker\FileMaker Server\HTTPServer\conf\ test_upload\index.php on line 206
I can't see how it can be a permissions issue if all users have read/write/execute on the "uploads" folder? Here are the variables:
$upload_directory='uploads/';
$uploadedFile= $_FILES['photo1']['name'];
It appears that uploads/2.jpg is $_FILES['photo1']['tmp_name'] and should therefore have been uploaded to the server's /tmp/ directory. On most systems, because /tmp is a system dir, it has restricted permissions on it.
See if you can alter the perms on /tmp or find out exactly which dir the tmp uploaded file is being moved to first, before being "uploaded" (and then alter the perms on that dir).
Regardless, the path to the file as passed to move_uploaded_file() doesn't look right. It needs to be a full-path. Possibly the server-error you're seeing is not happening at precisely the same time as the upload operation takes place.
I wasn't able to fix this via FTP settings. I had to adjust the settings by logging in to the Windows Server and changing the security settings on the folder I was trying to move files into so that the "Users" had read/write access.
I am having a challenge uploading a file into app/storage. Upon uploading the file I get this error:
file_put_contents(C:\xampp\htdocs\ProjectName\storage\app\folderName): failed to open stream: Permission denied.
I tried using chmod -R 777 storage/app, but still have the same problem.
Would really like know how to solve this problem.
Make sure apache has write access to PHP's temp folder (C:\xampp\tmp\ usually) as well as all of storage (not just storage/app). Also, be sure the uploads folder actually exists (C:\xampp\htdocs\ProjectName\storage\app\folderName).
PHP first uploads files to the tmp folder, and then moves them into storage.
Here's how to change permissions in Windows 7.
I am working with two different servers, and uploading files between them. From one to another. But that is not working. It worked when both are on my localhost, but when I want to upload file from my localhost onto another server that is a cloud server. It is giving me this error:
Warning: move_uploaded_file(/var/www/data/user-blue.png): failed to open stream:
Permission denied in /var/www/upload.php on line 67
Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move '/tmp/phpVBiLvB' to '/var/www/data/user-blue.png' in /var/www/upload.php on line 67
How do I fix permissions on the cloud server? I have full root access if it is needed.
chmod on your directory to read write execute. Or give user permissions to te directory.
If you are using Mac OS, here are the simple steps you need to take to solve this problem of permission:
Double click on your upload folder to get options
Click on "Get info"
Scroll down, in the left bottom corner, you will see a padlock, unlock it with your pc password
Then you will see permissions in bottom, change the permissions to read and write
Problem solved. unless your script has a problem
I've been stuck on this code for days as I am hitting this error when I upload a file to the server. Its a windows server running on Apache
Tried various solutions but still receiving the error. I tried changing full permissions to everyone on that server.
I changed the default PHP upload tmp file to inside my application yet I am still having this error.
Warning: move_uploaded_file(C:\My_Workspace\ojs2002) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in C:\My_Workspace\ojs\admin\include\fileupload.php on line 78
Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move 'C:\My_Workspace\ojs\tmp\phpCB78.tmp' to 'C:\My_Workspace\ojs2002' in C:\My_Workspace\ojs\admin\include\fileupload.php on line 78
// copy the file, making the destination directory if necessary
$filedir = 'C:/My_Workspace/ojs2002/'.basename($_FILES['articlefile']['name']);
chmod($_FILES["articlefile"]["tmp_name"], 0777);
chmod($filedir, 0777 );
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["articlefile"]["tmp_name"],$filedir);
The code would work fine on Linux servers but not on Windows.
Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank You.
I decided to switch from:
move_uploaded_file($uploaded_file, $file_path);
to
file_put_contents($file_path, file_get_contents($uploaded_file));
#unlink($uploaded_file);
The unlink might fail but I'm not too worried about that.
chmod won't work on Windows, as it uses a different type of permission system. Make sure the user Apache runs as has full write access to the folder you're trying to move the files to (right click and click on sharing or permissions depending on the version of windows)
I have a site in which I'm getting the following error when trying to use move_uploaded_file operation (see below)...
I also notice that when I attempt to delete a theme, WordPress asks me for my FTP credentials. I believe these issues are connected. Do you agree?

I would say you lack permission necessary to write in the folder you are trying to upload those files or the owner of the folders is different by the owner running the PHP.
You can take a look here: http://onlamp.com/pub/a/php/2003/02/20/php_foundations.html
Or search for chown, chmod and maybe connect to your site with ftp and verify the CHMOD levels and who he owner is.
