Sorry you had to spend 6 hours hunting down a 2 second fix. Not sure why no one else suggested this. If it is a local copy of Apache and not used by anybody else, who cares about what permissions it runs as. Jim Running apache as root is quite hard... He was mounting his shares as root so then apache would need to run as root. And that probably requires recompiling of Apache. And i provided a quite secure way to fix, but Mac OS X didn't understand that.

Re: [PHP] Permissions issue on share
Yes, it does appear that samba on mac os x is not taking any configuration options. I tried different options for the mount_smbfs command which does have very specific user/owner/group related permissions options - but all give me the same operation not supported error. Let me take a closer look at Samba and also the list you linked to. Thanks again - appreciate your help! On 3/22/07 2:21 PM, Tijnema !

Re: [PHP] Permissions issue on share
Get a copy of WinSCP3 or FileZilla ftp utilities, both are free. They will show you who the owner is for the dirs and files. You can also use a SSH shell command; but, unless you are already familiar with Unix commands, using the utilities will be a lot easier and quicker. To change a file or dir when you do not own or have the proper permissions: Copy the files and dirs to your local HD Delete them on the server. Upload them from your HD to the server. Now the owner will be the ID of ftp login, that's you. Fix the permissions as needed. The files and dirs must have the others, also called world, W bit set to write and maybe the X bit also.

Re: [PHP] Permissions issue on share
Ave, But i think that when remounting the partitition, the permissions are reset too. Unfortunately you're absolutely right! The share is re-mounted on a daily basis (along with a reboot), and thus, even if the 'copy, delete from server, copy to server' process were to work, with every unmount remount, it would go back to original permissions ownership. Fmask, dmask and for that matter some other mount_smbfs options I found are an accurate solution to this problem - but unfortunately they don't work on Mac OS X, or the Samba that comes with mac os x, one or the other. I know this is gone completely out of PHP context, but I do appreciate you guys helping out. I'm just not finding any solution for this.

Re: [PHP] Permissions issue on share - SOLVED!!
Ave, I can't believe I'm saying this, but SOLVED it! Took me about 6 hours, and this one website, with this one little snippet in one corner of a black white page on the ENTIRE Internet gave me a solution with this guy who had the same problem - and he wrote fixed it for me, hope it helps someone else - Well, if he ever came to town, beer would be on the house :) Believe it or not, two simple little parameters to the mount_smbfs command did the trick. mount_smbfs -u 70 -g 70 //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ShareName SharePoint Explanation: First foremost, this does not work with the mount command (mount -t smbfs) which is what I was using. It only works with the mount_smbfs command. Basically you have to specify the uid gid, that is, the UserID and the GroupID that you want to specify as Owner Group of the mounted share. In my case, 70 is the uid gid of Apache Web Server on Mac OS X. With the -u 70 -g 70 specifying Apache Web Server, of the mounted share, Apache got read/write permissions to anything on the mounted share. Suddenly I was able to write to files using PHP/Apache on that share! Actually it's a useful command because once you determine UID GID of a User/Group that you want to specify for a mounted share, you can tighten security and really take control of permission sets for a mounted share. snip: I used NetInfo Manager to find out uid gid of Apache Web Server on my Mac OS X. Hope this helps someone else ;) ~~~ Rahul Sitaram Johari CEO, Twenty Four Seventy Nine Inc. W: http://www.rahulsjohari.com E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ³I morti non sono piu soli ...

Unfortunately you're absolutely right! The share is re-mounted on a daily basis (along with a reboot), and thus, even if the 'copy, delete from server, copy to server' process were to work, with every unmount remount, it would go back to original permissions ownership. Fmask, dmask and for that matter some other mount_smbfs options I found are an accurate solution to this problem - but unfortunately they don't work on Mac OS X, or the Samba that comes with mac os x, one or the other. I know this is gone completely out of PHP context, but I do appreciate you guys helping out. I'm just not finding any solution for this. I think I've gone through 100 websites googling different combinations. You could try to update to the latest version (maybe even from CVS), i'm not sure if it helps, but if it is fixed, it is done in a later version :) And if it doesn't, you could submit a bug ticket at samba.

They will show you who the owner is for the dirs and files. You can also use a SSH shell command; but, unless you are already familiar with Unix commands, using the utilities will be a lot easier and quicker. To change a file or dir when you do not own or have the proper permissions: Copy the files and dirs to your local HD Delete them on the server. Upload them from your HD to the server. Now the owner will be the ID of ftp login, that's you. Fix the permissions as needed. The files and dirs must have the others, also called world, W bit set to write and maybe the X bit also. So you would recommend a recursive chmod? as long as there's no OS installed it wouldn't do a lot, but of course this would remove a little bit security. (Not that there's a lot of security with windows...:P) But i think that when remounting the partitition, the permissions are reset too. That's why there are options like fmask and dmask :) but somehow they don't work on Mac OS X.

W: http://www.rahulsjohari.com E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ³I morti non sono piu soli ... The dead are no longer lonely² you could always change apache to run as the user/group that the mount is set to. Sorry you had to spend 6 hours hunting down a 2 second fix. Not sure why no one else suggested this. If it is a local copy of Apache and not used by anybody else, who cares about what permissions it runs as.
