i have a folder i have created in

called uploads

in my serve(fedora) .....this folder i want to put my uploaded content  from my web service .......

i have done the following:
su

chown githinji/var/www/uploads


This command did not complete with 0 status exit code as you need a space there, so something like:

chown githinji [space] /var/www/uploads

 
but i keep getting the following error when trying to upload content to the server

Warning: move_uploaded_file(/var/www/uploads/song_1253182839.PNG) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/html/tes/jamms6/library/Music.php on line 46

Looks to me like the issue is actually about the permissions on /var/www/html/.. and not /var/www/uploads unless the two are symlinks.


 Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move '/tmp/phpNwzvTj' to '/var/www/uploads/song_1253182839.PNG' in /var/www/html/tes/jamms6/library/Music.php on line 46
Unable to upload song


 
My suggestion to you, if acceptable, is to run an FTP server which chroot()s the users to their designated upload directory and let them upload via FTP.
