Are there any specific server configurations that could cause permission denied errors when running PHP scripts?

Permission denied errors when running PHP scripts can be caused by incorrect file permissions on the server. To solve this issue, you can ensure that the files and directories have the correct permissions set. This can be done by using the chmod command to set the appropriate permissions for the files and directories that the PHP script needs to access.

// Example of setting file permissions in PHP
$filename = 'example.txt';
$permissions = 0644; // Read and write for owner, read for others

if (file_exists($filename)) {
    chmod($filename, $permissions);
    echo "File permissions set successfully.";
} else {
    echo "File does not exist.";
}
