Running a VM with CentOS 5.7 with typical httpd install.
I'm trying to write a file to a folder outside of /var/www/html, lets say in /var/somedir
- I've chmoded somedir with 777
- I chowned it to apache:apache (root:apache didn't work either)
- PHP's safe_mode is off
- PHP's doc_root is empty (i.e.
doc_root =)
I can't use rename() to move something out of the doc root and I can't use fwrite() to create a file outside of it either.
Just to verify, I exec'd whoami from a php file and it echo'd/returned apache when accessed in the browser.
I think I've hit google with about 200 searchs about this so far and I guess I'm still missing something.
Turns out that selinux was in fact enabled although my "linux guy" assured me that it was not!
