PHP mkdir() and move_uploaded_file() Permission Denied with 777

  • 772

I am writing a PHP script for a client which will be installed on a server which I do not have back-end access to. I only have access to a particular folder and database.

My script will upload files and create folders. However I get a permission denied error when I try run mkdir() and move_uploaded_file(). Here are the conditions:

Server running IIS 6 and PHP 5.1.2 (a bad, ancient mixture, I know) Folder where I try to make a directory and upload a file has 777 permissions Folder all the way up to the web root has 777 permissions File uploads are on Uploaded file is very small, within the upload_max_filesize range Any ideas on why this isn't working?

Thank you for your time.

php upload iis mkdir

  1. If the server is running IIS 6 then it is a Windows server, so the 777 permissions may not apply as that is a Unix/Linux permissions setting.

    On a Windows server, you may need the Administrator to log in to Windows, right-click the folder you are trying to run a mkdir() command within, and use the Permissions option to ensure the user your PHP script is running as has the appropriate permissions.
