Denied permission to folders?

carnuke · August 1st, 2004, 10:35 AM

I'm sure this is very basic, but .... I have some directories that were created during an installation routine on a php script. They have a 700 (user read write execute) setting. Thing is, I cant open them OR change permissions. Even in cpanel I have a message syaing 'seems like you don't have sufficient permissions for this operation' I should add, these directories are in another directory that has full world permissions.

What can I do please?

Are you sure you are getting the correct files? It could be refering to a same named but different sub-directory. PhP is full of that.

It also sounds like the error is being generated by the program itself. It might be that your login info doesn't have the correct "authority" to enter the area you are trying to enter.

Do you have a link or some code to look at?

Thanks Bashdaddy for your comment... Umm, I simply want to open folders in my webspace, there is no code to show, cos I cant get into the folders to see what's there!

They have the permissions of 700 and I cant open them, so I changed them to 777 and they return back to 700. Yes, Im the owner of the webspace, but these folders were created as part of an install rountine for an application.

The app works fine.

Try creating a PHP script to chmod them:
<?php chmod(fileorfolder, 0777) ?>
That would work if they were created via a PHP installer...

chmod is disabled in PHP.

Ahh, yes. Well then, the problem is obvious - you have mice in the server. What with nearly everybody using mice these days (and I hear tell that a few foolish individuals are even connecting them to their computers!) it was bound to happen. You need a cat and in this situation only the very latest will due. I suggest a Cat5. Be careful that you don't get the Cat5E (for Extra hungry) as they may not be satisfied with mice and start looking at you! :miam2:
