PHP access to a system foler - how?

[mattiashswe]

In my site users www folder I have a folder that the web app needs access to.
What owner/group shall it have and what permissons?
Right now it looks like this (and it is not working as it should):
drwxrwx--- 3 www-data pictureusers 4096 2007-04-01 00:21 pictures

PHP (in default configuration) is using www-data user and www-data group. You have to keep in mind, that directory above your 'pictures' have to be accesible by apache2 server. Look at tree of directories to check access.

Also look at /var/log/apache2/error.log while trying to access this resource and/or enable php logging into syslog or file to check it by PHP function.

Do you have safe_mode enabled?

Bye,
