in reply to File Can Not Write

If you are usingAt least with Apache on Linux, make the directory and the file must be world-writeable.

Update: My reply is an oversimplification. See frodo72's reply for a more complete and precise description of the permissions issue.

    I don't agree on that. The file must be writeable by the user which "runs" Apache (which varies from system to system, it could be "apache", "nobody" or whatever). This can happen in a lot of manners (e.g. file is owned by that user, and user-writeable; user is within file's group, and file is group writeable...), which doesn't necessarily imply world-writeability. In case the file doesn't exist yet, the above consideration applies to the directory.

    Flavio (perl -e 'print(scalar(reverse("\nti.xittelop\@oivalf")))')

    Don't fool yourself.
