如何让Apache允许运行可执行文件？

Question

I am just wondering what I can do in this situation. I have this simple web page, through which I want to invoke a program that leaves a file on site. For your information, this web page itself can write (it saves uploaded files in a specific location in the server). But the problem is that when I invoke the program via the web page, it doesn't produce a file in the same specific location the web page succeeded to leave a file.

Simply speaking, my situation is a web page can save a file to folder A, but when the web page invokes a program to leave a file in the folder, it can't. And the question is
how I can make the program to do so when it's invoked by the web page?

Thanks, HJ.

You need to set the folder permissions to allow write access for apache. From the command line in linux:

sudo chmod 644 path/to/folder

You should probably allow the apache group to own that folder, as well.

sudo chown yourlinuxusername:apache path/to/folder

Apache may have a different name, too. In such a case, just change apache to whatever the name should be.
