Windows file permissions ?

[polarz]

Hi, I'm testing php scripts on my computer and am not sure how to set the permissions to allow me to have access to manipulate files. e.g. I wrote a script to rename some files, but my permissions won't allow it.

Warning: Rename failed (Permission denied) in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\rename.php on line 29

I'm not sure if my problem is php or apache releated. Any info on this topic is much appreciated. Thanks

Hi,

This would probably be a windows file permission issue. The php module would be running with the same permissions as the userid that started apache so presumably there is some problem there. Try doing something in a known public directory like c:/temp to test it out.

One other possibility is restrictions in the php.ini . Specifically, open_basedir -->

http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.php#ini.open-basedir

. Check that too.


Hope this helps
