PHP mkdir() and move_uploaded_file() Permission Denied with 777

I am trying to setup a home server from Samba 3.2, however, on the client end (running Windows Vista) the mapped network drive is viewable and I can also open any files within the main shared folder. The issue is that I cannot create any files from Vista, nor copy anything into there.

I am using centos 5.7 with cPanel WHM running fastcgi/suEXEC

I am trying to make a particular folder writable to allow a script to upload files but seem to be having problems.

The folder (and all recursive folders) I want to be writable is:

/home/mydomain/public_html/uploads

And I want only scripts run by the user "songbanc" to be able to write to this directory.

I have tried the following:

I'm driving myself crazy trying to figure this out. I hope someone can shed some light on my problem.

I need to know the simplest way to set default file permissions on a folder I created: /var/www/uploads

So when someone accesses the site they insert some information and then upload a file to the server, inside that uploads folder.

I have a script (test.sh) on a local server, which when I execute with terminal works fine. The script removes a directory and creates a directory local. Then it connects to a remote server using "ssh -i $private_key .." and copies a file there.

When I execute this script in jenkins with

sh test.sh

it doesnt work. Im getting the following errors:

rm: .. Permission denied mkdir: ..

I have a basic linux server setup (setup locally on my network with no outside access) and i wanted to FTP files to the /var/www directory. I have installed vsftpd and i have access to the server via FTP on another machine.

The problem i am having is the permissions on the directories and files uploaded are no the same as root, although i have setup a user with the admin user group which has root

I'm in the process of moving my sites from a shared hosting to a VPS.

Ok so I am trying to install nano in terminal on my macbook. I downloaded the file, unzipped it, and located the folder/files in terminal. I ran the ./configure command. Then "make." Both ran fine. On "make install" I keep getting an error about permissions and making a directory.

So I use mkdir, intend to create two folders like this

$dir1 = 'upload/'.$id; $dir2 = 'upload/'.$id.'/s';

if (!is_dir($dir1)){ mkdir($dir1, 0744); mkdir($dir2, 0744); }

This command successfully creates the two folders I need in my xampp localhost.

However in my nginx linux cloud vm, only the $dir1 can be created.

I have already give the ownership of the 'upload/' folder to nginx, and

Accidentall I created the folder on remotely server (Server OS is Linux) using php: mkdir("folder_name",0);

Now I can not delete this folder from server.
