Re: [PHP-DB] Re: permissions for writing file
James, Who are you logging in as and do you have write privileges in that directory? Who owns it: user and group? (Don't have to answer, that's just what you have to know. Alternately, is there a mysql user in /etc/passwd? What group? The answer probably lies in there somewhere. Is there any possibility you can use a Secure Shell (SSH) on that machine? It's much safer than telnet. If you're reaching it from a windows box you can use putty.exe or terraterm ssh for access. Both are secure clients.

[PHP-DB] RE: permissions for writing file
I'm trying to use PHP and MySQL to query a table and write the contents to a new file. When run the command to outfile it tells me I don't have permissions. This is on a Unix machine. I haven't run this on Unix myself, but I think this answer might be useful. Someone please correct me if I'm out to lunch. Check which user account is actually running the PHP process (or the Apache process if it's not the CGI). Then ensure that it (the PHP user) has the rights to create files in the specified directory. Be careful here though, because you will be giving malicious visitors more tools to work with.
