Permissions error - cPanel server

    Not sure if this is an Apache issue but I'm guessing it is.

    I made a PHP script and placed it on my server. This script has a function that will create a new file on the server, say a .txt file with information in it. When I go to do anything with that file that is created such as edit it, I get a permission denied from the server.

    For example, FTP returns:

    "Response: 550 Rename/move failure: Permission denied. "

    Any ideas on how to repair this permissions issue?

    Thanks!

    You can post ls -l .txt here...

    BTW php creates file belongs to the user apache running under (the most cases). You can use chmod (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.chmod.php) to change the permissions of the file created

    you need to setup permissions correctly. simply right right on File via FTP and click on "Change Permissions" or something like that.

    So Chmod doesn't come default with a apache/php server?

    Since the permissions is set to apache I can't right click a file and change the permissions. It's denied.

    If suPHP and/or Apache suexec are disabled on your web server then you may face this problem.
