File/Folder(s) Owner/Group

Hi when i use PHP to make a file or folder on my server it seems to set the owner/group as 99 instead of my username which it should be.

So when i try to delete these item, i can't.


Is there any way to fix this. i have done some reasearch and a few people have the same problem.

Are you talking about the file permissions? If so, then the chmod function will work just fine. Example:

Code:
chmod("/somedir/somefile", 0755);  // octal; correct value of mode


Must be octal though. Hope this helps.

Nope.

I have tryed the chown function for this. Thats what should fix it but it don't

When you access the script in your browser, the server executes that script under a different username then your account username.
That is why you have trouble accessing it. I also had such trouble a while back when I was creating tons of image files through php, and then was unable to delete them because I didn't have permission >.<

You'll have to use a php script to change the ownership. If you have already tried chown, then go ahead and try chmod to change it. The script Diablosblizz posted will be fine:

Code:
chmod("/somedir/somefile", 0755);  // octal; correct value of mode


If the permissions 0755 doesn't work, then try the permissions 0777, which isn't very safe, but try it anyways, if it doesn't work then there is some other problem.

Let us know what happens!

I don't think you can change the permissions because you don't have access. You could try the script in the first post of the topic I just posted.

I tryed this.

Code:
chmod($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . $SITE[urlprefix] . "/sitedata/funny_pictures/" . $fpic[id] . "/thumb." . $fpic[iformat], 0755);
chgrp($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . $SITE[urlprefix] . "/sitedata/funny_pictures/" . $fpic[id] . "/thumb." . $fpic[iformat], "arcade");
chown($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . $SITE[urlprefix] . "/sitedata/funny_pictures/" . $fpic[id] . "/thumb." . $fpic[iformat], "arcade");


It chmods then but it leaves the images owner as '99' and impossible to delete.

Also it gives this error

Just chmod it to 777. It's not dangerous when you delete it immediately. Or delete the files using PHP.

You can't change the permissions if you don't have access. Use the script posted in the first post of this topic: http://www.frihost.com/forums/vt-14867.html
