File permissions
Posted: Fri Jul 28, 2006 4:54 am
Hi, a fairly standard question I would have thought although I'm struggling to find an answer:
I'm running a webpage on a space allocated to me by my university and I'm trying to write information to a file. I can read a file alright, but whenever I try to wirte to a file, it says I don't have permission. So I tried editting the permissions in the properties window of an existing file in my folder and writing to that- still no luck, infact for some reason another two copies of the file I had just changed the permissions for suddenly appeared in my folder but were unaccessible.
After doing some reading on the net I gathered that I have to edit CHMOD or change something in IIS. But because I'm not running the server myself, is that what I should do? Cos the other thing I noticed was on the phpInfo() page there was a column for 'Local' and 'Master' configurations which made me wonder whether the permissions I need (what ever they are) can be editted just for me and possibly by me. Am I close? Any help would be much appreciated.
