Permission Denied

[Berlin]

Hi,

I get this error when my script tries to write to directory /newsdata

Warning: fopen("/home/sites/site1/web/newsdata/ArticleCat.wmn","w") - Permission denied in /home/sites/site1/web/newsadmin/wmnews.php on line 356

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /home/sites/site1/web/newsadmin/wmnews.php on line 357

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /home/sites/site1/web/newsadmin/wmnews.php on line 358

directory is chmod to 777 and mysql user has been granted all priviledges.

Someone suggested that "the apache run in other user , and not in your user" and I have to chown user:group /path/dir/file.php

But what does it have to do with mysql? Mysql is using another set of username and pass.

Lines 357 and 358 as follows:

$contents.="</td></tr></table></td></tr></table>";
$fn=trim($article_catfile);


Any ideas?

did you chmod 777 ArticleCat.wmn ?

THanks! I thought I chmod the directory and the files in it, but it wasn't. I had to su to admin to do it. I'm new to linux. So, how do allow other users to change permission?

Thanks,
