Zen Internet Support Forum

I have a Bronze Linux hosting package with Zen.  I am using PHP to handle a file upload from a form as follows:

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['imageFile1']['tmp_name'],"/data01/username/public_html/myupload.jpg");

but its failing with the following error:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(/data01/username/public_html/myupload.jpg): failed to open stream: Permission denied

The folder I am trying to move the file to is set to 777, so I don’t know why I am getting this error.  I get the same error trying to use mkdir.  Is it a problem with my php, or a configuration issue?

Figured it out in the end.  The directory was actually 755 despite what I had though.  I got this wrong because when I clicked on change permissions in the file manager, it was coming up with 777, but that was not what it was actually set to.  I didn't notice the little numbers on the right in the directory listing that show what the permissions actually are.

Thanks for posting!

It did sound a lot like permissions, now you come to mention it I do recall seeing this oddity in the cPanel file manager myself.
