CHOWN question - how do i set me as the owner and my files to be owned by me?
i have a web site that i have built in dreamweaver however i need to set myself up as the owner so that i can set all files and folders to be owned by me, then i can use my php script to create folders and set CHMOD details to them.
At the moment i get the following error when executing the CHOWN function: Warning: chown() [function.chown]: Unable to find uid for alex in /blahblahblah.php.php on line 94 at the minute the files are owned by some 4 digit number, the new files i create are owned by 2 digit numbers. but i need to be owner and set up a group for all files and folders that exist or are to be created, can anyone help me? Alex.

You cannot chown() this way. File giveaways are usually not possible in unix for non-root users. This is a security restriction.
Besides this, you are probably on virtual hosting where no "real" unix users exist. HTH, M.
