im running on windows xp and i am an administrator, im using the latest xampp bundle available from their site and i receive these kinds of errors when i use file manipulation functions on php...
Warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: Permission denied in...
Warning: opendir(/feeds) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: Permission denied in
do i need to set any environment variables for apache before i can use these functions?
but i think the problem lies only on my folder access permissions, but if so, how do i set a folder's accessibility properties on windows?
Does your php worker process have the necessary permissions?
Make sure whatever user the process is running as has proper permissions for the directory it is puking on.
right click on the folder, permissions...
it appears that my script referred to an inexistent directory as i just specified $dir='/feeds';it works fine on my machine in our office but i wonder why with the same configurations here on my pc at home it doesnt
as reference for other people who might have the same problem in the future my answer would be
check and make sure you are pointing your script to the right file :)
You can try setting the umask as well before the chmod like so;
$old_mask = umask(0);
chmod('/path/to/file', 0755);
umask($old_mask);
More information on umask can be found at PHP's Manual

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'm trying to troubleshoot this error, but I have had no luck.
Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: Permission denied in Users/myuser/Sites/mysite.me/git/framework/libs/smarty/sysplugins/smarty_internal_write_file.php
I keep getting the mkdir() [function.mkdir]: permission denied error in one particular folder. I have made sure to chmod 777 foldername through linux and it still hasn't worked. I am doing this on a local machine through XAMPP. I've also made sure to make sure it is read and write for everyone from a GUI standpoint. I'm still having no luck. Thoughts?
I'm getting a warning for mkdir, chmod, touch, rename, and include.
For anybody who ends up here from there:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12801733/php-upload-outside-web-root-permission-denied-to-mkdir was marked as an exact duplicate of this thread. That thread was also cross-posted to the AWS forums where it received an answer.
That said, the accepted answer here is actually wrong. (Maybe not wrong wrong, but still somewhat wrong.) The better way to approach this is to have the owner/group of the Apache process match the owner/group of the directory that you want Apache (and in-turn, PHP) to be able to write to.
This way, you're granting access to specific, managed users instead of opening up your file system permissions too broadly.
Add write permissions for all users (or at least webserver user eg. www-data for apache) in which mkdir is creating the directory.
I have created a php file that exports data to an excel file using PHPExcel.
On my localhost everything works fine but when I upload it to the live site I get :
Warning: realpath() [function.realpath]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 755 is not allowed to access /tmp owned by uid 0 in
I'm not sure if I can fix this with a simple CHMOD or I have to call my server administrator
I am using joomla 1.7.1 if it matters
Thank you
Sounds like 'safe mode' is restricting access to a folder. You need to either disable safe mode or add the folder to the allowed directories. Someone with a similar problem here < http://forums.gplhost.com/phpBB2/image-vp8763.html> .
I suggest you look at your server logs for a more detailed error.Look for instances of open base dir error messages.
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.
may i know what permission do i need to add, to allow test.php to able to write file into macos filesystem

<b>Warning</b>: file_put_contents(20090915203127.jpg) [<a href='function.file-put-contents'>function.file-put-contents</a>]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in <b>/Library/WebServer/Documents/testphp/test.php</b> on line <b>8</b><br />
ERROR: Failed to write data to 20090915203127.jpg, check permissions
this is the error i get on leopard, i already chmod ugo+x for test.php
It's not the file that needs permissions, it's the process running PHP. Assuming you're using (Snow) Leopard in it's default state, you'll need to give the _www user write permissions to the given directory, or give the world write access (a less savoury idea). Both of these can be accomplished with a combination of chown and chmod.
You need to make sure the user the script is running under is allowed to write to the file trying to write to (i.e. 20090915203127.jpg, not the PHP script). If 20090915203127.jpg does not exist, you'll need to make sure the directory that file's going to is writable (by default this will be the present working directory).
You may need to read about chmod.
As far as I know you need root rights to be able to write directly to /Library. Is it absolutely necessary to write to this directory?
If you just write files to your own account, under /Users/accountname it should work (although that depends on the user who is executing the php script).
You need to make the target file / directory writable to the web server. test.php is not into that...
