With regards to that CMS system of mine, I am, if necessary, creating the
output/upload directories/folders when they need to be made use of using the
following function call in PHP code:
mkdir("./sites/" . $sRelPath, 0776);
mkdir("./sites/" . $sRelPath . "/images", 0776);
I can then do something like copy an uploaded image file to that directory
using copy().
However, thereafter, I can't access them via other sort of interface channels,
and, if I ask fileZilla to, for example, tell me permissions on the site's sort
of virtual root directory/folder inside the /sites folder/directory, it tells
me: 754
Which doesn't make sense, unless some or other automated process on the server
is resetting permissions after I created the item during/at run-time?
The primary issue there is that of the three numbers - owner-group-public -
while 5 = read/execute, it doesn't include write - which means can then not
generate content/output in those folders, and, like said, don't seem to
generally be able to browse there either using FTP clients, although read is
turned on - 4 = read, 1 = execute, and 2 = write/change - so, 7 = all rights, 5
= read/execute, but not change/write.
Thoughts/suggestions?
And, at moment, while trying to figure out what's causing this issue, I am
using a sort of utility bit of PHP script to clean up file structure by running
a sort of manually defined set of chown() and chmod() functions to firstly take
complete control of the then rendered files and directories - just in case,
before setting their permissions to 777 - all rights to all, and to then
unlink() and rmdir() either/or, but, after setting permissions like that, I can
then browse the file structure using ftp client - either command line, or
fileZilla, but, before resetting permissions, it seems to not want to cooperate?
Know this isn't 100% relevant to php-windows, but, part of irritation/issue
with this is since develop on windows7, where this isn't an issue, it's a bit
irritating that code/execution works quite happily on my development machine,
but, won't then cooperate when published to server, etc.
Stay well
