Permision issues with uploading files

Expand Post »

Hi,
I have created a script to upload files

php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
$filename = $_FILES['Filedata']['name'];	
 
$filetmpname = $_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'];	
 
$fileType = $_FILES["Filedata"]["type"];
 
$fileSizeMB = ($_FILES["Filedata"]["size"] / 1024 / 1000);
 
//Irrelevant validation here
 
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'], $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/content/songs/file.mp3");
$filename = $_FILES['Filedata']['name'];	

$filetmpname = $_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'];	

$fileType = $_FILES["Filedata"]["type"];

$fileSizeMB = ($_FILES["Filedata"]["size"] / 1024 / 1000);

//Irrelevant validation here

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'], $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/content/songs/file.mp3");

And that returns OK to the browser allong with my success message but the file doesn't exist, when I look in the sites error log i get

/phptemp/ has CHMOD 777 and apache has read write access to the entire web directory

Re: Permision issues with uploading files

by the error logs it seems that your code is not able to access the file,check the permissions to that file.sometimes it might be the case that the file is permitted but the folder outside of it not , so check with that too.
