It may be "working", but setting permissions to 777 is nearly always:

 - a good way to test whether permissions / ownership is the problem
 - a bad way to leave things long term

Instead of leaving the permissions set to 777, you should really be looking at
the owner or the group of redirect.php, and compare that with the user which
is trying to run it, and correct the discrepancy.

The solution could be any of:

 - set the owner of redirect.php to the user which needs to run it
 - set the group of redirect.php to a group that user is a member of
 - add the user trying to run redirect.php to the group owning redirect.php

But lease don't leave any scripts or binaries with permission 777 on your
machine!

Antony.
