I'm running RedHat 8.0 and Apache 2.0.45.
I'm trying to make Gallery (http://gallery.menalto.com/index.php) 1.3.3 work
with a folder mounted from my Win2000 box to the
Linux box using the Sharity daemon(http://www.obdev.at/ftp/pub/Products/Sharity/binaries/redhat-rpms/sharity-home-2.8-2.i386.rpm).
This Sharity daemon allows my Win2000 shared folder to
appear as a normal filesystem on my Linux box.  As a normal
user I can see the folders and access the files within them.

This code:
# cat -n test.php
     1  <?php
     2  $name="/JPs_Photos";
     3  echo "$name being used...<br>";
     4  $dir = opendir($name);
     5  while($entry = readdir($dir))
     6  {
     7          if(is_dir($entry))
     8                  echo "$entry is a dir<br>";
     9          else
    10                  echo "$entry is NOT a dir<br>";
    11  }
    12  ?>

Yields this output:
/JPs_Photos being used...

Warning: opendir(/JPs_Photos): failed to open dir: Permission denied in /home/www/htdocs/gallery/setup/test.php on line 4

Warning: readdir(): supplied argument is not a valid Directory resource in /home/www/htdocs/gallery/setup/test.php on line 5


Yet, I can see/access this directory while on linux:
# ls -ald /J*
drwxrwxrwx    2 root     root       131072 May  8 01:01 /JPs_Photos

# ls -ald /JPs_Photos/index.html
-rw-rw-rw-    1 root     root         4621 May  3 10:40 /JPs_Photos/index.html

FYI:
