I guess you're right, but i really really don't want to change hosts. I
have multiple
sites hosted there, knowing their service etc. is great. (And still is)
This is the
first kind of problem i've come across.
I mailed them with my problem, and saying i don't want to swich, and if
they can
come up with another solution. If not, then i'll see ...
I looked into another old site on one of their servers wich was meant
as an online
diary with a photo gallery. I created an upload-module for photos.
These were
automatically resized by PHP. Looking through Plesk's file manager, i
can see the
folder the pics end up in is chmodded rwx r-x r-x (755), pics are rw-
r-- r-- (644)
Pics and folder have the same owner, and belong to the same group. Pics
are as
i said PHP created, the folder was done in dreamweaver, but probably
chmodded
manually. I wonder if this is possible for other files then images,
because they
don't have to be resampled, so aren't actually created by PHP.
I hope you get what i'm saying.
Frizzle.
