Hello everyone;

I am attempting to write a generic FileManager app that anyone can upload to their server and use to upload, rename, view and delete files on the server.

I cannot expect my users to change the permissions on each individual directory that they want to upload to or rename so I've been trying to do it through my PHP App. I also don't have access to any of the server settings except through cPanel.

However, when I try to run chmod() or chown() I get something very similar to the following:



Does anyone have a solution to this, please? These are the final items I need to get working in order to finish this app!

Thank you in advance!

It seems that the webserver/PHP user does not have access on your filesystem to change the file attributes. You'll need to modify the permissions of your directory to allow the webserver user to modify file permissions. Perhaps you can create a user group where the only two members of the group are you and the webserver user. Then give rwx permissions to the group in that directory.


Take care,

Any idea on how to do that? I'm using what I assume is a virtual server and cPanel to control it.

Thank you,

David
