I recently made a php app for a company that spiders through a server and finds all files of a specified type (html, etc) and then opens the files and does specified things to them. So, the tool needs to be placed on the server and then it needs read/write access to all the files.
It works fine on my local server, but the client says that it fails (message is "failed to write to file" and then it stops). I told him to try it with ALL files and folders set to 777 just for testing purposes and he says that it's still not working. I have no idea what to suggest. Thankfully, it's not exactly my problem (there was really no such specification made), but I am curious as to what the problem could be.
