fopen: failed to open stream












0















I recently configured google cloud for my web app. There is a piece of code I have written that creates a flat file in a directory. This piece of code works very well on localhost but is giving the following error in google cloud:



Warning: fopen(nav/nav_dump_20181125.txt): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/html/report_today_val.php on line 171


I tried following things:



sudo chmod 777 /var/www/html/nav
sudo chgrp apache /var/www/html/nav
sudo chown apache /var/www/html/nav/


my code is:



$newf = fopen ($newfname, 'w');


But nothing seems to work. Can someone please help why I am unable to create this file?

  • The user running the script (wwwroot?) is not supposed to create a file in this directory. Obviously a security setting. Your commands from the shell do only affect YOU (the user you have connected with) but not the webserver.

  • Any idea which security setting I should change to allow the web server to write in this directory?
