[EP-tech] Re: File upload failed

Hi Tim,

No we are running Redhat 6. It's infuriating because if I sign onto the box and su to apache I can touch files in the directories but it appears the httpd running service can't!

Are you running SELinux ?

If it works after setenforce 0 is run then you have an selinux permission problem.
