Hello, I googled online however I did not find a clue my question. So I post it here.
I created a mod_python CGI to upload a file and saves it in folder "/ var/www/keyword-query/files/". My code runs in root. fileitem = req.form['file'] # Test if the file was uploaded if fileitem.filename: # strip leading path from file name to avoid directory traversal attacks fname = os.path.basename(fileitem.filename) # build absolute path to files directory dir_path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(req.filename), 'files') f = open(os.path.join(dir_path, fname), 'wb', 10000) # Read the file in chunks for chunk in fbuffer(fileitem.file): f.write(chunk) f.close() message = 'The file "%s" was uploaded successfully' % fname I got: File "/var/www/keyword-query/upload.py", line 30, in upload f = open(os.path.join(dir_path, fname), 'wb', 10000) IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/www/keyword-query/files/ Defrosting.rtf' "Defrosting.rtf" is a file on the desktop of my Windows XP computer. Anybody knows what the problem is? Thanks for your replies. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
