PHP require_once 无法打开流权限被拒绝

Question

I keep getting the error below even after changing the permissions of the folder. I don't know what to do. Not sure why. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm working with Cent-os server and this is a php script.

require_once(mysql_connect.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: Permission denied Date/Time: 7-28-2009 20:09:44

Answer 1

Things to check:

• The web server user (often apache ) executing the web script needs read ("r") permission on the included file. The web server user is usually different than the user who wrote the files.
• Check that all the parent directories of the included file have the appropriate execute ("x") permission set.
• The open_basedir php.ini setting. If this is configured to be on, you might have a limited set of file opening permissions.
• Your SELINUX settings.

Answer 2

The problem was not a permission issue. The file I was including was named mysql_connect.php which I think conflicts with either one of mysql's files or functions so the server was confusing my file for that and wouldn't require_once() or include_once() or include() the file. Hence the permission denied fatal error. I change the name of the file and all is well. Thanks to you all for trying to help me out.
