    Hi

    I am getting the following error:

    Warning: fopen(../*****) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/home/****** on line 5
    Cannot open file ()

    I am running PHP4 on a linux server...

    any ideas on what I can do to fix it ?

    Thanx

    check file permissions of a source file (Which one you are using).

    Php uses same user as that of apache , so make sure you grant all permissions to a file so that apache can read it.

    use CHMOD command to do it ....

    Permission 777 is a global permission. similar details you can get from manual pages of chmod

    Write a php function

    chmod('/dir/path','0777')

    before fopen.

    the Temp directory where you store you session files doesn't have the permissions
