why all new files must have chmod permissions set.

[blaketar]

Trying to find out why anytime I create a new file on our server I must set the chmod permissions for the file in order for it to work in apache/php.

I must set "chmod a+rx newfilename.php" or else when I attempt to view the page in a browser I get the following error message in our php error log.

PHP Warning: Unknown(newfilename.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning: (null)(): Failed opening 'newfilename.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:') in Unknown on line 0

Must I change something in php.ini? Thanks All!

You can change the permissions permanently on the target directory.. not advisable though!

How would I go about doing that? The server is on a local network.

I should point out that all new file I must do a chmod a+rx on them in order for them to work.

Thanks,
