Our server is a Linux Server with Debian 5, Apache2

This is a development server which we are doing testing on and as such we have setup world write permission on everything

Ive also set the umask in /etc/profile to 000

One particular PHP script loops through some images in a directory and attempts to make thumbnails in a sub directory

the PHP Error we receive is "Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: No such file or directory"

apache2 runs as user www-data, I can login as www-data and make directories and files and everything with no problem

the apache error log just says File does not exist

Any suggestions?

Is the path its trying to create there ? ie if its trying to create /var/www/images/thumb/ then /var/www/images/ needs to exist. It may also pay to enable recursive creation mkdir(/var/www/images/thumbs, 0, true)

no the path doesnt exist. This works fine on 2 other servers, we dont want to change the code, but I will test to see if it works – Tim Sep 1 '10 at 4:00
I dont mean the final path that its trying to create i.e. if its trying to create thumbs within the directory /var/www/images then /var/www/images would have to exist before it tried to make thumbs – c10k Consulting Sep 1 '10 at 4:03
