[BlueOnyx:13480] OT: A little PHP permission help

[Richard Morgan]

This is somewhere between a development challenge and a server config challenge, so I hope someone can help.

We've got our own set of tools which are accessed from any domain using www.example.com/sitetools - they're mostly written in Perl so an alias for sitetools pointing to the real location works fine when the permissions are set with chmod 6755 for the directory and contents.

Now, however, I'd like to get this working for a PHP upload script and keep facing permission issues.  I don't think suPHP helps here as it needs to be a server-wide script.  The upload works fine from within the local web space.

BTW, security is handled by .htaccess so unauthorised access is not part of the problem - getting the PHP code to execute is the problem.

Hopefully this makes some sense and any ideas would be appreciated.  Maybe this has been seen before in a different guise, but I can see it in the BX archives.

Thanks, Richard
