Will that get rid of the parmission's problem? Can you
explain a little?

I had a feeling i might have to ask my ISP, they seem
cool they might do it, 
unless there is a security concern about changing the
permisson's of said 
directory. I seriously doubt they will enable the
'chmod' command, i think that 
would be a security concern. No i don't have ssh
access. I will ask them to 
change the permission's, if that doesn't work, i will
keep working on it.
Thank's for the reply marek, your a life saver, and a
*time saver*.

[PHP] Problem's addign a script to my web page.

2003-09-20 Thread stratis Aftousmis
Hello, i will be a succinct as possible. I downloaded a php script (a 
chatbox) for my web page. The web page is from my ISP, 15Mb space, you have 
to have knowledge of UNIX and Html to use the service(to create the page 
and upload to the site). I wrote the page in Html, downloaded the php 
script, intalled and changed the file extention from html to php. The site 
from which i got the php chatbox script say's i have to 'chmod' the 
directory where the file's are to be created to 777...the script create the 
file's if they don't exist with 'touch':


if(!is_writable($latest) || !is_writable($archive)) {
  touch($latest);
  touch($archive)
if (!is_writable($latest) || !is_writable($archive)) {
exit("$latest or $archive is not writable, please check your permission's 
and try again");
}


One problem i have is the 'chmod'command is not implemented on this site 
(SunOS 5.8):


lftp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/public_html/ext> chmod 777 archives
chmod: Access failed: 502 SITE command not implemented. (archives)
lftp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/public_html/ext>


i then tryed to do using the php 'chmod' function to 777 on the directory in 
question, no go. (hey...don't laugh)

When i try to use the chatbox in question, i get the error's:


Warning: utime failed: Permission denied in
/export/home/stratus/public_html/ext/minichat2.inc.php on line 102

Warning: utime failed: Permission denied in
/export/home/stratus/public_html/ext/minichat2.inc.php on line 103
/export/home/stratus/public_html/ext/archive/minichat2.latest or
/export/home/stratus/public_html/ext/archive/minichat2.archive is not
writable. Please check your permissions and try again.


those line's are both the touch command's, the file's are not being created, 
it won't even work if i create them myself.
I *hope* that's enough info for a diagnosis. Any help would be welcome.

stratis.
