It's possable, but either way i am creating the files with my User account, not as root. But for some reason i'm not having problems when saving with Gedit...

There is more to it than the simple difference between user and root... It's about making sure that apache has rights to get to the file... (which is usually a matter of giving rights to the right group/others)

Thanks, i was just told the same thing in the linux forums i was asking about this on FedoraForum#mypost, and they said the same thing.

This is a big difference from programming .Net sites, I even used php a little with IIS, just to get my toes wet for what i was going to be in for when i made the LAMP switch. Now i wish i'd have never used MS...

Thanx again.

Windows servers have the same (technically more) permissions than Linux. Permissions on many Windows servers are handled poorly by their administrators.
