mkdir(): Permission denied

Question

I have 777 on all files on my server. PHP 5.4 (no safe_mode)

Site works on other servers. It's Yii framework

 mkdir(): Permission denied

/var/www/html/project/framework/web/CAssetManager.php(225)

213             return $this->_published[$path];
214         elseif(($src=realpath($path))!==false)
215         {
216             $dir=$this->generatePath($src,$hashByName);
217             $dstDir=$this->getBasePath().DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$dir;
218             if(is_file($src))
219             {
220                 $fileName=basename($src);
221                 $dstFile=$dstDir.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$fileName;
222 
223                 if(!is_dir($dstDir))
224                 {
225                     mkdir($dstDir,$this->newDirMode,true);
226                     chmod($dstDir,$this->newDirMode);
227                 }

Here ls -l after chown, not help

Answer 1

SELinux was the culprit for my set up. Thanks for the reminder!

Answer 2

Make sure that:

• the web directory is owned by the apache user. ("ls -al" will tell you)
• the parent directory in which you want to create is also owned by this user.
• the parent directory isn't a mount in which you don't have write permissions
• the path you want to create is correct (var_dump($dstDir) will tell you)
• $this->newDirMode is contains a correct permission value. (If you are running on windows this will be ignored)

If there is no problem and it still doesn't work I would do:

• make yourself the apache user and try to create it manually ("sudo -u apache" if your username is apache)
• try to omit the third parameter 'true' in "mkdir($dstDir,$this->newDirMode,true);" and create all directories one after another
• inspect the logs ("/var/log/apache" is your friend)

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

SELinux may be the problem. Try turning it off manually:

setenforce 0

Answer 4

Check SELinux and turn off it.. Now it works!
