Finally, I have working copies of Apache 1.3.22 and PHP 4.1.1 on my LM8.0 box. Apache has been set up with "nobody' permissions, and I write test scripts as root and place them in /home/web/apache/htdocs.
I can read scripts from this directory, but I've tried to use: . . . excerpt . . . $filename = "/tmp/graffiti.dat"; $handle = fopen ($filename, "a+"); fputs ($handle, $graffiti); [I've also tried fwrite] fclose($handle); . . . followed by a form that takes $graffiti as input . . . and then a php script that displays the contents of the appended $filename . . . And no matter what I try, nothing is written to "graffiti.dat" -- I've checked that it is writeable. Somehow, I think it's related to permissions and the group "nobody". I've written the script as root, and another as user. Neither works. Apache (temporarily) is run at root -- I'm just learning Apache and PHP -- this is a developmental setup, not connected to the outside. If there are any gurus that can help me, I'd appreciate it. Permissions are set otherwise to 755. I'm obviously not clear on the concept of "nobody" and how it affects running of scripts. Who cn arun these, if it's set to "nobody"?
