Php problem need advice from gurus

Hi DP Family

I just launched an auction site for some reason I can't upload or sell items.

Here the problem I encounter:
Warning: fopen(counter/auction_id.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/dance123/public_html/phpauction/sell.php on line 192
Couldn't create file.

Can anybody please give some advice or help me solve this case.

Thank you and god bless DP

 

Hello,

Edit:
Actually just make sure the permissions for the counter directory and counter/auction_id.txt are set correctly.

regards

 

Thanks papa_face for the quick response...

How would I know the correct permission and how can I make it correctly?

Thanks in advance.

 

If you use FTP chmod the file and the directory to 755

 

I use cpanel papa_face.. it's like the same?

 

in cpanel, go to file manager and click on the folder. on the top right hand side of the screen, click on the permissions link and set it to 755.

 

papa_face... I made it now.. thanks for your help.. it gives me an idea.. thank you.. I change the permission to 777 thank you so much...
