chmod dilemma

I'm creating directories and changing the permissions of them in perl with the following code:

umask 0000; mkdir $path, 0770; chown $userid, $groupid, $path;

Now when I do ls -l on a directory I've just created, they are as follows:

drwxrws--- 2 user group 4096 Nov 3 15:34 test1

I notice for the group permissions, there's an s instead of x. Even if I chmod manually to remove all permission

To enforce the following permissions on files in /var/www, can I use the commands chmod u+s and chmod g+s? Do I just run it on the /var/www directory (once the permissions are properly set)?

Permissions:

chown -R root:web /var/www chmod -R g+rw /var/www

i followed this article Code: Adding yourself to the Apache group and modifying permissions For this example your username will be "youruser", on most Linux  distributions the Apache service runs on the user "wwww-data" and the  group "www-data", we need to include our user "youruser" in to the  "www-data" group to be able to se

So after finding a workaround and fixing permissions regarding my external Hd problem from earlier, I now cannot access the "file system." I still have access to the desktop and my user folder, as well as links I had already made to folders such as "www" within the "var" which is direction inside the root file system.

I had two tabs open, both where I typed in "sudo -s". In one tab, I was in a different directory where I had to execute "chmod 755 *" In the other tab, I was messing with the brightness by doing "echo 1000 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness". I accidentally executed "chmod 755 *" in two this tab.

Hi there.

Just setting up eclipse to do some android development. I have a hard-drive mounted with the sdk on it in a folder. I have full access to it but when I boot up eclipse, I get permission denied on ADB (ADB is a platform tool for android).

Ive tried setting the folder permissions with Chmod 755 on the folder "android-sdk" but Eclipse still cant access it.

I'm using Dropbox to sync files between Ubuntu and Mac OS X. I want new files in a particular Dropbox folder to inherit 664 permissions to share with another user, but it's not working. So I have a secondary group, called sharing, with members elliott and rtorrent.

I use for example to change everyone's permissions:

chmod 777 file

Now, what if I want to preserve the current permissions? I know there's something like

chmod xx7 file

in case I'd only want to change the world permissions, but I can't work it out (forgot).

Thanks!
