PHP doesn't have write access on my openbsd server.

[MikoLone]

I am playing with php abd I want to write an xml file to the server but it says that I can't do it because php doesn't have writing privledges. How do I give writing privledges to php on OpenBSD? What would be the most secure way?

Thanks!

Go to the dir you want to give write access and change it with :
#chmod 777 /var/

http://www/htdocs/dir_you_use

I never found out how to do it secure but do some reading searching for chmod and chown chroot etc.

777 stands for
first 7 owner
second 7 group
third 7 everyone

read write and execute
7 is binair 111 (rwx)
6 is binair 110 (rw-)
5 is binair 101 (r-x)

find out who owns the process running on your box probably
the apache runner

http://www is

he the one trying to write the file then
#chmod 755 /var/

http://www/htdocs/dir_you_use

is already a bit more secure
