Hello there.
Im trying to install XOOPS and im running into a problem where the permisions for certain folders are not set to 777. However the mod on the filesystem is indeed 777. I decided to write a simple script to test whether php was doing things correctly. This is the script


if (is_writable("./uploads")) {
        echo 
"is writable<br>";
} else {
        echo 
"NOT writable<br>";
}
if (
is_readable("./uploads"))
        echo 
"is readable<br>";
else
        echo 
"NOT readable<br>";

echo 
substr(sprintf('%o'fileperms('./uploads')),-4);

The output of the script is

NOT writable
is readable
0777

as you can see php thinks the folder is not writable
however fileperms is returning a 0777. What gives? Am I missing some configuration on php.ini or in my apache httpd.conf



Im running apache 2.0 , php-4.3.9.

Please help.. this is one of the last things Ihave to do to setup my site.

Cheers!!
