I have this fopen() script that ran fine on Windows, but now on Linux it give me a "Permission denied" error.

The data.zip file does not exist and should be created with fopen()

Any ideas?



$fp = fopen('data.zip', 'w'); // << error is on this line
fwrite($fp, $inhalt);
fclose($fp);

$zip = new ZipArchive;
$res = $zip->open('data.zip');
if ($res === TRUE) {

$path = getcwd() . "/test/";
$path = str_replace("\\","/",$path);
mkdir($path, 0777);

$zip->extractTo($path);
$zip->close(); }

Any ideas? Check the permission settings of that directory and make sure that the write permission is there.

Also check ownership of this folder. Must be available to write for www-data
to set ownership for folder run
chown -hR root:www-data /folder_name
and set writeable by groups

I got it done by changing the directories to 0777

Thanks!

Unless the httpd daemon is running as a different user to both the owner:group for the directories, you'd be better going to 0770 maximum. You've given full access to any user with the 0777.
