I could do this in perl but I'm being stubborn :-) When I run the following code as a regular user, everything fails. When I run it as root the directory is created and the chmod works. However, chown reports:
chown failed: Operation not permitted Here is the code. $Directory2Create = "/home/e-govdemo/htdocs"; mkdir($Directory2Create,0777); chown($Directory2Create,"egovdemo"); chmod($Directory2Create,0777); "egovdemo" is a legal user name as can be seen from this partial directory listin. egovdemo nobody 4096 Sep 6 11:29 Logs also tried chown($Directory2Create,"egovdemo:nobody"); chown($Directory2Create,"637"); chown($Directory2Create,"637:99"); To help save my few reamining hairs and could someone with root privilege try it and see if it's me or PHP?
