PHP: fopen() Permission denied

by

This issue can also be a result of having SELinux enabled. This can be solved using:

chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/directory_to_write
chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_t /var/www/html/directory_to_write
chcon -R -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t /var/www/html/directory_to_write

You can find the old explanation at https://web.archive.org/web/20150927091100/https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Managing_Confined_Services/sect-Managing_Confined_Services-The_Apache_HTTP_Server-Types.html
or https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/6/html/managing_confined_services/sect-managing_confined_services-the_apache_http_server-types

However if you are on anything like Redhat 8 or newer, you might want to follow https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/using_selinux/configuring-selinux-for-applications-and-services-with-non-standard-configurations_using-selinux#customizing-the-selinux-policy-for-the-apache-http-server-in-a-non-standard-configuration_configuring-selinux-for-applications-and-services-with-non-standard-configurations
