G'day aboboras,

You should probably start by showing us the relevant code (in <code>...</code> tags). 'open ">"' isn't telling us a lot. Check your code follows the examples in the open documentation.

Next, show us the full error message (in <code>...</code> tags). Where does this message appear: in the browser, in one of the Apache logs, somewhere else?

Giving only root write access probably isn't correct: that's unlikely to be the user involved. Check your Apache configuration for User.

Have you checked your various Apache logs? Do their entries help you in any way? If not, show us: maybe we can help you with that.

The "Security Tips - Apache HTTP Server" document may be helpful to you.

The guidelines in "How do I post a question effectively?" will show you the sort of information you can provide to us such that we are better able to help you.
