Hmmm, I am at a Linux command window with ssh from my XP machine, this is easier for me. Your pasted code suggests that you are in some kind of php process when you do your exec command or something?
<?php
echo exec('whoami');
?>
My Linux prompt does not look like that, either from an ssh session nor the normal Linux CLI. This is my prompt:
[ohmster@ohmster ~]$
Is what you pasted above (in blue) typed into a command prompt or is this something that you ran from a bash script or put in a php file and then ran, either from the command prompt or via browser to the php page that you created?
I don't know how to change it either to make the php process or the convert process ran by me so that the files it produces are owned by me either so don't feel bad.
Coppermine has been under development for a long time and these issues probably have been worked out, just have to wait for someone that knows this stuff a little better to come along, I guess. I posted to the Linux newsgroups: comp.os.Linux,alt.os.Linux,alt.apache.configuration with a followup requested to comp.os.Linux. Usenet usually takes a day or two to get some help but it is a pretty good source of information and help, will wait and see and reply back here if I get any help. Otherwise will have to wait and see if anyone has an answer. This is not a terrible thing and I could su and then chown and chgrp to my to gain ownership if I have to but would like for this to be setup nice like it was before when I used GD.
Thanks for your help, keg. Hey, I got a question that you could probably answer, how did you get an avatar on your posts? I don't see anything in my account setup for adding an avatar and would like to put my mug in there.
Thanks.
