I have nginx+php-fastcgi running on my server and I"m trying to allow a php script in /var/www/contest to upload to a non-public directory located at /var/www/private/uploads.
I've tried changing the include path in php.ini but all I get is "No input file specified." when I try to view the page in /contest that uploads the pics.
your php script will run as some user. give that user write access to /var/www/private/uploads.
At first, check your upload_tmp_dir in PHP_INI system and set to right path.
Check write permissions for it.
Use move_uploaded_file to store files manually in right place.

I am trying to setup a way where i can copy or write files from one user account to another user account folder using php. Here is the example
<?php
copy('texttest.txt','/home/username/public_html/domain.com/texttest.txt');
?>
I get permission denied error. I have disabled apache mod_userdir protection. I can access the file from the folder but cannot write to the folder. I am looking for a non-cURL or Cron way. just using simply like copy() or move_uploaded_file() as this is the requirement. Anyone can help with this in setting up permissions or any suggestions?
You can do it by php FTP extension, you can see example on these reference.
How To Copy Files Around FTP Using PHP
php upload file from server to another via FTP?
I'm using PHP to allow a user to upload a file. The file is being uploaded, but the permissions on the file are incorrect. I set up the permissions on the folder and checked the box that says apply to all children in the folder.
This works only after I make one change to the newly uploaded file. If I don't make a change to the permissions, it gets this default set that breaks the rest of my application.
For example, C:\uploads\ is set to allow users in the group "Everyone" to read and write. This however doesn't apply to the newly uploaded file until I do something to that specific file's permissions (add or remove any user or group to its permissions - this change gets overwritten by the folder's permissions).
This is on IIS6 (I believe) on Windows Server 2003
Windows upload file to temp directory and then move it with temp directory permissions. If You give good permissions to the user on this folder (upload_tmp_dir) then will be no problem.
You can also use windows system command:
CACLS or ICACLS
Do:
chmod()
On Your file after upload
I would like to change my applications temp path to a subfolder, so that users on a shared server cannot see any uploaded files.
I would like to be able to do this run-time, or via .htaccess if possible (although I would like the new temp path to be a subdir of the original temp path). I can't edit the php.ini on the shared server.
I know I can check what the tmp path is via sys_get_temp_dir(), but there doesn't seem to be a way to set it.
Is this even possible?
ini_set('upload_tmp_dir','your/path/here/');
The temporary directory used for
storing files when doing file upload.
Must be writable by whatever user PHP
is running as. If not specified PHP
will use the system's default.
If the directory specified here is not
writable, PHP falls back to the system
default temporary directory. If
open_basedir is on, then the system
default directory must be allowed for
an upload to succeed.
upload_tmp_dir
maybe in '11, now not anymore.
As documented here ini.list
and with reference to modes,
'upload_tmp_dir' cannot be changed at run time.
thanks.
i have developed an application on Macintosh using MAMP
when i upload it to the server which is powered by Cpanel11, CentOS 5.. it gives several error regarding file permissions by default it gives 0700 file permission to most of the files which does not work within my server. i would want to know how do i apply the file permission settings for my PHP application,
the directory structure or the rule i want to apply is for the following conditions.
a)File uploading Directory
b) most of the php file is using include_once()
c) the normal php files which communicates with each other.
thank you
File uploads in PHP first hit the defined temporary directory (see 'upload_tmp_dir' directive in your PHP.ini) and finally your intended destination directory (PHP command "move_uploaded_file").
Your PHP process runs as a certain user that needs to own the destination directory or is in a group that is allowed to write to this directory - unless the whole directory is not writable for everyone (it's not in your case).
Try chmod after move_uploaded_file.
I want to create a symlink with PHP.
The symlink needs to go in the same place as the uploaded file, which should be fine right?
My real problem is that when using symlink(), I get a permission denied error on the same directory that PHP can write to from $_FILES.
I have done a test using text.txt as the test file, and link as the symlink:
symlink("repository/text.txt", "link");
The PHP script is run from content/folder/script.php. What am I doing wrong here? Do symlinks need file extensions (I doubt it) or something?
If this is the code you're using
symlink("repository/text.txt", "link");
And your script runs as /var/www/scripts/script.php the symlink will be created in the directory the script runs in.
Try using an absolute path.
