Hello:

I had a nice php application running on my server here at home, and I
uploaded it to a shared public type server and it started to break all
over the place. It turns out that some scripts required higher
permissions that others, but I can't figure out what the difference is.
They all read from the database. Some write to the database, but not
all the ones that require higher permissions do. I don't understand
what it is about some scripts that require execute permissions while
other do not. And I don't really understand who at the server is the
owner and who is the group and who is the world. And last why did all
these scripts work with 644 on my server here even for people accessing
it from outside the LAN and what's different about the server farm?

Could someone shed some light on this? I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks.

Ken
