Hobbyist_PHPer Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Hello everyone, so I made this script that creates directories via "a hack around" cPanel, on my own server, in order to create directories via my own software, but I also need to copy files from one directory into that newly created directory... Therein lies the problem... I created a script a few years ago that worked, but for the life of me I can't remember how I enabled myself to be able to use the copy function of php... Anybody know?

fugix Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 okay so what you'll want to do before using copy is use chmod() on the file to allow you permissions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbyist_PHPer Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 okay so what you'll want to do before using copy is use chmod() on the file to allow you permissions I'm pretty sure it's a cPanel set permission thing, just have to go into the server and change it somehow, I just can't remember how...

Hobbyist_PHPer Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 il check my cPanel for it It won't be in any cPanel settings... you have to SSH into the server and change the permissions manually... I probably need to find a Linux/cPanel forum and ask... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobbyist_PHPer Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 maybe, found [urlhttp://www.siteground.com/tutorials/cpanel/file_permissions.htm]this[/url] tough. Yeah, thanks, but if only it were that easy... You see it won't let me make permission changes like that, and if I logged in as root and made those changes, then they could only be modified by root, and I certainly don't want to put my root information into a php script...
