Uploading error: permission problems

dmadd9 · #1 07-Apr-2005, 04:36

Hi, it's my first post here.
Thanx for this forum.

I need to upload a file to my home site. Now I'm trying it locally with apache 1.3.29 on win xp, php 4.1.3 and mysql

The server tells me that:

Warning: Unable to create 'upload/': Permission denied in e:\programmi\apache group\apache\websites\dalla\sito\do_upload.php on line 18

Warning: Unable to create 'upload/': Permission denied in e:\programmi\apache group\apache\websites\dalla\sito\do_upload.php on line 23

Warning: Unable to move '/tmp\phpAC.tmp' to 'upload/' in e:\programmi\apache group\apache\websites\dalla\sito\do_upload.php on line 23

The code is:

PHP Code:


<?php 

//mkdir ("upload/", 0777);
chmod("upload/", 0777);
print_r($HTTP_POST_FILES['scheda']['tmp_name']);

// In PHP 4.1.0 or later, $_FILES should be used instead of $HTTP_POST_FILES.
if (is_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES['scheda']['tmp_name'])) {
    copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['scheda']['tmp_name'], "upload/");
} else {
    echo "Possible file upload attack. Filename: " . $HTTP_POST_FILES['scheda']['name'];
}
/* ...or... */
move_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES['scheda']['tmp_name'], "upload/");
?>

I tried to create with php and before launching php script the upload/ dir, but the same error occurs.

do you know why?

best regards

dm

You need to set the access rights outside of your php script first. Make sure the directory in which you want to create a new directory has writing access for every user (or at least your web server user).
