Ok, here is the deal... I'm trying to chmod and move some files using php (yes, it has to be done with php) that were uploaded by users through ftp. I get the "Operation not permitted" error.

All the uploaded files are in the same directory and are owned by the same group & user.

PHP on my webserver runs as "nobody".

Anyone knows what can be done to accomplish what I'm trying to do?

Thanks

Have you tried chmoding the file which will be doing the chomding to 777?

Hi,

Make sure the ownership of those files are set as 'nobody', otherwise it will give you the 'Operation not permitted' error. But I would suggest you to write a cron job to chmod the files, which will work for sure.

Merry christmas!!:cool:
