Steps to reproduce

We have the following log error on an application installed on a Debian with the Nginx web server. I think you have to force the PHP script for Nginx servers so that it does not write a .htaccess file in data.

What happens

2017/04/23 06:41:20 [error] 25532#0: *472 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'unable to write to file data/.htaccess' in /var/www/zerobin/lib/Persistence/AbstractPersistence.php:104 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/zerobin/lib/Persistence/AbstractPersistence.php(73): PrivateBin\Persistence\AbstractPersistence::_initialize() #1 /var/www/zerobin/lib/Persistence/TrafficLimiter.php(106): PrivateBin\Persistence\AbstractPersistence::_exists('traffic_limiter...') #2 /var/www/zerobin/lib/PrivateBin.php(223): PrivateBin\Persistence\TrafficLimiter::canPass() #3 /var/www/zerobin/lib/PrivateBin.php(135): PrivateBin\PrivateBin->_create() #4 /var/www/zerobin/index.php(18): PrivateBin\PrivateBin->__construct() #5 {main} thrown in /var/www/zerobin/lib/Persistence/AbstractPersistence.php on line 104" while reading response header from upstream, client: 10.0.2.2, server: ortest.noho.st, request: "POST /zerobin/ HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock:"

What should happen

94         // Create .htaccess file if it does not exist.
 95         $file = self::$_path . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . '.htaccess';
 96         if (!is_file($file)) {
 97             $writtenBytes = @file_put_contents(
 98                 $file,
 99                 'Allow from none' . PHP_EOL .
100                 'Deny from all' . PHP_EOL,
101                 LOCK_EX
102             );
103             if ($writtenBytes === false || $writtenBytes < 30) {
104                 throw new Exception('unable to write to file ' . $file, 11);
105             }
106         }
