[urgent] Can't upload files. Access Denied.
 
Hello guys,

I am having a problem with my fresh RedHat installation.
I have configured PHP, Apache, MySQL, etc. My web applications run fine. The only problem is: whenever I try to upload a file as an attachments in any of my web applications, it gives me a PHP error: access denied.

I already went extreme and granted 777 permissions on my /var/www/html directory. I have as well made apache:apache owner of that folder. I don't know what else to do.

So current situation is:
apache:apache is owner of the directory
permissions are set as drwxrwxrwx (777)
I still can not upload any attachments to that directory

Please help.

Apache usually runs as nobody.

When you do a 'ps aufx' who owns the running httpd processes?

If it is running as nobody you can change this in httpd.conf

It may very un-likely, but I have to ask just to eliminate the possibility, the directory to which you're trying to upload, is it NFS mounted, or accessed through a symbolic link?

Another possibility is an access restriction that's imposed by Apache's functionality based on the way it's configured.

But to get a better idea of the context in which youre' working, are you working with Apache 1 or 2?

Is /var/www/html your doc root, and are you trying
to upload to that?

hamidych 09-30-2009 01:43 AM
It's Apache 2

/var/www/html is the home dir and I am uploading to that

that directory is on local internal hard drive, not on some shared storage (if I got you correct)

hamidych 09-30-2009 01:53 AM
I meant doc root by home dir...

Could we see the PHP code snippet which is generating the actual error?
