move_uploaded_file gives “failed to open stream: Permission denied” error

Question

I keep getting this error when trying to configure the upload directory with Apache 2.2 and PHP 5.3 on CentOS.

In php.ini:

upload_tmp_dir = /var/www/ht         


        

Answer 1

You can also run this script to find out the Apache process owner:

And then change the owner of the destination directory to what you've got. Use the command:

chown user destination_dir

And then use the command

chmod 755 destination_dir

to change the destination directory permission.
