You may be able to shed some light on this PHP problem.

Have not used the facility to write files before so apologies if this is a simple config issue.

Anything that tries to write to a file fails.

I checked that the target directory is writable by the Apache user (nobody).  This is set to 777.

Here's a test prog:

<html><body>
<h2>file write test</h2>
<?
  $out=fopen("/home/handyman/DB/tmp.tmp","w") || die ("Can't open file for write");
  fputs($out,"test string\n");
  fclose($out);
?>
</body></html>

Here's the result.

file write test

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /home/handyman/public_html/traveller/test.php on line 7

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /home/handyman/public_html/traveller/test.php on line 8

Note:  It did not fail the fopen()  it did, however, fail the write and the close.  It creates a file of zero length.

The file handle did not get created properly.  But why?

Can you include your configure line,
also can you print the output of $out after the fopen?
