Re: apache-php file creation question

[B <BruderB@cation.de>]

Hej Michael,


your PHP-Script runs as www-data, same as your apache does.

Try the following steps:

1. write your output to /var/tmp . Every user is allowed to write there. 
 Check if your php script really puts out.

2. chmod for the target directory. Don't change the perissions for the 
files but for the directory!
