I am creating a directory in php it is working nicely in localhost but when I run in my server am getting error as
Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: Permission denied in D:\Hosting\8089251\html\songs\test.php on line 12
How to give permission to server? I saw the php info in my server the virtual directory support is disabled? Is beacuse of that I am not able to create a directory? if so tell me how to enable virtual director support

It's not. The reason you can't create the directory is a very simple one: you don't have the permission to do so as stated in the error message. Generally, this means that the user PHP is running under isn't the same as the that owns the directory you're trying to create the directory in.
If your server is under your control, please read up on how permissions work under Windows (I imagine you'll have to add a group that has control over the directory). This stuff is important, so if you do have your own server, be sure to read and understand how permissions work, or your server will be ruined in the quickest of times.
If your server is actually maintained by someone else, give them a call. If all permissions are correct, mkdir should be able to create a new directory, so apparently the permissions aren't correct. If the server is not under your control, there's nothing to do about it other than telling the one who maintains the server to get his permissions straight.

I'm new to WHM, cPanel, and CentOS.
I install WHM then create an account for domain app.example.com and user peter
I point the domain name to right IP address but when I run my website app.example.com I got HTTP ERROR 500
Via SSH I log into the server and I find my previous uploaded code into
/home/peter/public_html
Then I run command sudo chown -R peter:peter /home/peter/public_html
and when I look at folders permission and owner they looks like:
I think my HTTP ERROR 500 is about user permission.
Can please help me to add right privileges to a user or what I need to do to my public_html folder be visible to the world (at browser).
What I need to do?
The best thing to know if it's a permissions problem, a bug in the programming of the web application or to see what really happens, is that you look at the log file of the web server (apache, nginx, the one you use). The log will give you more clues. Could you copy the log output when the error occurs?
It seems some required extensions were not activate or had been removed from your VPS. You should check and install/activate them. Then you can test your website again.
P.S: Sorry for my bad english
I've just installed Concrete 5 CMS by following the instructions on the website.
The folders application/files/, application/config/, packages/ and
updates/ will need to be writable by the web server process. This can
mean that the folders will need to be "world writable", depending on
your hosting environment. If your server supports running as
suexec/phpsuexec, the files should be owned by your user account, and
set as 755 on all of them. That means that your web server process can
do anything it likes to them, but nothing else can (although everyone
can view them, which is expected.) If this isn't possible, another
good option is to set the apache user (either "apache" or "nobody") as
having full rights to these file. If neither are possible, chmod 777
to files/ and all items within (e.g. chmod -R 777 file/*)
The packages folder has permission 777 and root/tmp folder has permission 755.
I've uploaded a new theme to /packages over FTP. When I try to install the new theme I see the following error:
An unexpected error occurred. fopen(/root/tmp/1419851019.zip) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream:
Permission denied
I have FTP access to the server and access to CPanel. How do I get this working without granting too many permissions which pose a security risk?
My install has the folders application/files, application/config, packages, and updates all set to 755 and it's working just fine.
You get that error because the system is trying to write to /root/tmp, which apparently is the environment configuration for a temp folder when your PHP request is handled.
Try adding the folder application/files/tmp in your file system (within your concrete5 installation). And then make sure that the user can write to that folder that is running PHP in your environment. As explained in the concrete5's own documentation (that you linked originally), it depends on your server which user this is.
Usually in shared hosting environments it's the same as the account you use to login there through SSH or FTP. In these cases, the 755 permissions should be enough if your own user owns the tmp folder you just created.
What has me confused is why a directory or part of my Drupal site to suddenly return the message of "Forbidden" - that I, as first use, cannot access various parts of the site in the admin area. I changed the permission on the default/sites/files directory to 777. That probably is giving to too much access to everyone. However, it was only after doing that, that I got a message of Forbidden - that I don't have access to various parts of the admin area. I am the first user.
I changed the permissions on this directory because when I tried to update some modules, I got an error that file could not be created.
I have cpanel/whm on a dedicated vps server. So, one issue is how to find out what the user and group ownership should be on a server that hosts various domains through cpanel. It appears that for other accounts have user:owner permissions that match the account name. I am not sure if the default group:owner should remain as www-data:www-data for example, on Ubuntu or if cpanel/whm says, "make the apache group and user equal to the account name."
Thanks in advance for any help,
Bruce
First of all, I'm going to assume you're talking about Drupal 7, but really, there's little difference in this case.
Try reading about permissions here
Its very simple that the folder should have user:user ownership and correct permissions with folders having 755 permissions respectively. The server might be running on suphp hence you cannot have wrong user with wrong permissions.
I'm working on a Symfony2 project at local server without any virtual hosting or something else. After I run the command php app/console assets:install --symlink, clear the cache and refresh the page none styles or javascript or images are loaded. Inspecting the source code and trying to access any of those assets I get this error:
You don't have permission to access
/cmplatform/web/bundles/clanmovilcommon/css/bootstrap.min.css on this
server.
What I need to change in my /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf to fix that problem? It's related to .htaccess problem or what?
This error is due to the user that you are currently logged in as not having correct to write to the /cmplatform/web directory. Or you have not got the root path set correctly in your apache.conf.
Can you confirm other pages / assets are being served correctly.
Take a look at who owns the directory and either adjust the write permissions or add your user / web server to own the directory or into the group.
This is quite a common issue - and care needs to be taken to ensure that write permissions for web, cache and log directories are set correctly to allow command line and web server (e.g. apache / nginx) users.
See http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/installation.html - permissions for some tips about fixing this.
This is installed on a Unix system I don't have direct access to, but can get insight on by sitting with a network team.
The problem is this, I have 3 folders I need access to, read and write. The problem is, I only have access to 1 of them, and only read. This is via ColdFusion, I can get into them fine with the user they are assigned to (and the CF server runs on, which is the "www" user).
I CAN read and write to the temporary file directory, the place files are stored before they are moved to the destination directory (SERVER-INF/ etc etc etc), but that's not helpful. I have tried having the network people set the permissions for the other folders to the same thing, but with no results. The current settings of the folder I can access are rwxrws--- and the other folders are rwxrwxr-x, so I should have more permissions ( the "s" is not a mistake in the first folder).
We have tried setting the other folders to 777 and we did not even get read capability. Does the server need to be restarted on a Unix box after setting new permissions for ColdFusion to be able to get to them? I'm out of ideas right now, I'll take any new suggestions.
TL;DR
All using ColdFusion
temp directory - can read and write to
folder 1 - can read from (including subdirectories)
folder 2 - cannot read or write to (permission denied)
folder 3 - cannot read or write to (permission denied)
Goal: Get upload functionality working.
Edit: Server using apache
Just a random guess... Have you checked that paths you are trying to access are fully correct? They should be absolute for file operations, and www user must have X permissions on the all path directories -- to enter them.
The problem ended up being a restart was required after setting the new folder permissions. We didn't think this was an issue on a Unix box, however ColdFusion apparently did. This worked.
