It seems that files within the web folder can't be deleted via the php ftp_delete function, like this: ftp_delete ( resource $ftp_stream , string $path ) The server is a Debian Lenny server with ISPConfig3 and PureFTP php5-fastcgi and suEXEC are enabled for the web. Is there a solution for this, so it is possible? Thanks for your help in advance!
Are you able to delete the same file when you use a normal FTP client? You can try to enable debugging in pure-ftpd to see if there are any errors: http://www.faqforge.com/linux/contr...nable-debugging-in-pure-ftpd-on-debian-linux/
Hi Till, Yes files can be deleted with a FTP-client like FileZilla. I will enable debugging to see what happens.
O, i forgot to mention: Within the browser when i execute the phpfile, i got the following error: Code: Warning: ftp_delete() [function.ftp-delete]: Could not delete /web/foo/filename.ext: Operation not permitted in /var/www/clients/clientXXwebXX/web/filename.php on line XX When i enable debugging in PureFTPd, i see the follwowing lines appearing in the /var/log/syslog: Code: Sep 28 16:13:27 xen1 pure-ftpd: ([email protected]) [INFO] New connection from 127.0.0.1 Sep 28 16:13:27 hostname pure-ftpd: ([email protected]) [DEBUG] Command [user] [username] Sep 28 16:13:27 hostname pure-ftpd: ([email protected]) [DEBUG] Command [pass] [<*>] Sep 28 16:13:27 hostname pure-ftpd: ([email protected]) [INFO] username is now logged in Sep 28 16:13:27 hostname pure-ftpd: ([email protected]) [DEBUG] Command [cwd] [/web] Sep 28 16:13:27 hostname pure-ftpd: ([email protected]) [DEBUG] Command [dele] [/web/filename.ext] Sep 28 16:13:27 hostname pure-ftpd: ([email protected]) [INFO] Logout.
The problem might be the / at the beginning as it can be that the ftp server interperts it as absolute path and not relative path. Try to delete the file by using the path "web/filename.ext" or just "filename.ext" as there seem to be a "cd" executed before the delete.
@Till, Weird, no result yet. This is a part of the code used within the phpfile: Code: <?php // ftp constants define('FTP_USE_FTP', TRUE); define('FTP_HOST', 'localhost'); define('FTP_PORT', '21'); define('FTP_TIMEOUT', '20'); define('FTP_PASSIVE', FALSE); /* */ define('FTP_SSL', FALSE); // LIVE settings define('FTP_USER', 'username'); define('FTP_PASS', 'pasword'); define('FTP_PATH_TO_ROOT', '/web'); $ftp_stream = ftp_connect(FTP_HOST, FTP_PORT, FTP_TIMEOUT); ftp_login($ftp_stream, FTP_USER, FTP_PASS); // set transfer mode ftp_pasv($ftp_stream, FTP_PASSIVE); // set current directory to root of site ftp_chdir($ftp_stream, FTP_PATH_TO_ROOT); $file = '/stage/cms/../uploads/images/filename.ext'; [COLOR="Red"]ftp_delete($ftp_stream, FTP_PATH_TO_ROOT . $file);[/COLOR] exit; Any idea what is wrong then here? (The red line gives the error in the browser)
@Till, Probably it has something to do with the path name indeed, but whatever i do i can't get it to work! Is anyone able to test if the php_delete function is able to its work on an ISPconfig3 server? Thanks in advance!
