System is running Apache 2 with PHP 4 as a module. The SSIs and the PHP includes cannot read or write files in subdirectories. I've read the PHP manual and implemeneted as much as I could find. Even with all security stripped off, the thing still won't allow any read-write in subdirectories. I'm told this is an Apache problem and not a PHP problem. But, I can't seem to find anything on how to allow includes to read-write to subdirectories. I'm working on a Content Managemenet System for news, and the newsies want everything in nice orderly subdirectories, with top stories prioritized from those directories to be read on the top-level domain. Any suggestions? I'm disinclined from using a C++ CGI to cover this (despite the fact it would work beautifully), because it really needs to be maintainable by dumb people. All ideas are welcome. Take a pitch and swing. Thanks.

If the parent directory's permissions are such that it allows read/write access by the user which Apache runs as, then it almost HAS to work! I'd double-check your permissions. Good luck! k_Rob - kk7av
