Deleting file path directory.

Hello in a recent plugin that I am developing I have come across an error in the console:

PHP:

Warning: unlink(C:\Users\test\Desktop\new\/worlds/TnTg1\region\r.-1.-1.mca): Permission denied in C:\Users\test\Desktop\new\plugins\pvp\src\pvp\Main.php on line 301

Warning: unlink(C:\Users\test\Desktop\new\/worlds/TnTg1\region\r.-1.0.mca): Permission denied in C:\Users\test\Desktop\new\plugins\new\src\new\Main.php on line 301

Warning: unlink(C:\Users\test\Desktop\new\/worlds/TnTg1\region\r.0.-1.mca): Permission denied in C:\Users\test\Desktop\new\plugins\pvp\src\pvp\Main.php on line 301

Warning: unlink(C:\Users\test\Desktop\new\/worlds/TnTg1\region\r.0.0.mca): Permission denied in C:\Users\test\Desktop\new\plugins\pvp\src\pvp\Main.php on line 301

Warning: rmdir(C:\Users\test\Desktop\new\/worlds/TnTg1\region): Directory not empty in C:\Users\test\Desktop\new\plugins\pvp\src\pvp\Main.php on line 306

Warning: rmdir(C:\Users\test\Desktop\new\/worlds/TnTg1): Directory not empty in C:\Users\test\Desktop\new\plugins\pvp\src\pvp\Main.php on line 306

In my understanding I believe this happens due to the server software dealing with a different world format. But I am not so sure.
The code to delete the directory is as follows, can anyone see where im going wrong?

PHP:

public function deleteDirectory($dirPath) {
        if (is_dir($dirPath)) {
            $objects = scandir($dirPath);
            foreach ($objects as $object) {
                if ($object != "." && $object != "..") {
                    if (filetype($dirPath . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $object) == "dir") {
                        $this->deleteDirectory($dirPath . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $object);
                    } else {
                        unlink($dirPath . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $object);
                    }
                }
            }
            reset($objects);
            rmdir($dirPath);
        }
    }

Thanks, MC ATECH

 

nope, the php process just doesn't have enough rights to delete the file, hence "Permission denied"
Check file permissions.

 

hmm cant seem to solve this.. The permission files are all still the same didn't change anything?

 

Perhaps you could try

PHP:

exec("sudo rm FileOrDirectoryToDelete");

 

He's obviously using windows, so that won't work.

 

So is there no way around this? If on windows?

 

well, basically you need to check file permissions. As I do not have access to a windows pc currently (linux rules!) I can't provide you with screenshots, maybe someone else can or simply google "change permissions of folders recursively windows"

 

I use the windows command script (start) to start my server.

 

Well this script makes the server Console edit the world files?

 

This will work on windows:

PHP:

public function deleteDirectory($dirPath) {
    system("del /q ".$dirPath);
}

 

Thank you!
Will report back fêter testing

 

Scary stuff, I wouldn't run anything using system that accepts input.

You could try to disable UAC in Windows to see if it makes a difference. Personally whenever _anything_ happens on the C drive, my Windows 10 install gets very finicky about it.
