unable to create a file in php
- Fedora 23 x64
- php 5.6.17
Permissions are as open as I know how to make them (777). Yes, I know this isn't safe. Once I figure out the problem, I will make them safe.
# ls -lhd /srv/www/html/sigs/
drwxrwsrwx. 2 root root 4.0K Apr 13 19:37 /srv/www/html/sigs/
trial.php
<?php
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
$file = '/srv/www/html/sigs/file.txt';
$mf = fopen($file, 'w');
fwrite($mf, 'hi');
fclose($mf);
echo $file;
?>
output

I am pulling out my hair here :)
I have tried setting the directory permissions to 777, 775, 755
I have tried setting the user and group to apache
If I write to the /tmp directory, I don't get any errors, but I also don't get a file.
It sounds like you've taken some good troubleshooting steps so far. The biggest one here, which you mentioned, is setting the ownership to apache. I would recommend changing this back to apache as it is currently owned by root according to the output you provided.
Otherwise I am not seeing any other reason the write should fail.
