I am running OSX 10.3.5 on a G4 PB.
I installed php5 and activated the in-built apache web server.
I activated personal websharing and put my site in my homedir:
~/Sites
Now, I have a script (residing in ./dominik/guestbook/ which needs to be able to WRITE in that directory. (It needs to be able to create new files!)
How do I do that?
I tried 'chmod -R 777 dominik/' to no success and 'chown -R www dominik/' which didn't change anything and just spit out an error. (No permission)
Any idea anybody?
Thanks,
Dominik

You probably need to run chown again but put 'sudo ' in front of it. This makes it execute at a higher privilege level. That will successfully change the owner to the web server. If you still have errors (mod777 shoulda worked) write back...
