[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1332262, member: 71075"] There's also a difference between administrator and root in OS X. Take a look [URL="https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3128749?start=0&tstart=0"]here[/URL]. They're close but root is one step closer to absolute/unrestrained control. Dysfunction is very much correct on this one - 777 is a terrible set of permissions for what you're trying to do. It's a "quick fix" for most problems but it's a terrible one. I understand why you'd want to do it though - PHP scripts can be frustrating if they don't have the perfect set of permissions (I can't tell you the number of times this has frustrated me). I've noticed that this problem generally pops up when you move scripts across machines. Are you doing development across machines? [/QUOTE]
