http://askubuntu.com – I think I have screwed up my permissions in Ubuntu. I am using my server to run PHP. I recently ran across a problem where PHP could not create directories in the var/www-directory, so I searched around on the internet. Now PHP can write and access anything like it should, but as a user, I can't create new folders or files anymore. Right now, the permissions for folders are like this: drwxrwsr-x 2 www-data www-data [Folders] This is the permissions when I upload using sftp: -rw-rw-r-- 1 gautvedt www-data [Folders] What have I done wrong and how can I change this?

Adding Apache to User Group 28 weeks 3 days ago

OK. Total beginner question, please bare with me.

Not sure if this is possible but is there a way to grant the Apache user same level of permissions (ownership) as root only on specific folder(s).

Why I need this: We have a CentOS 6.2 server with apache setup as our development server, and we use only the root user because the server is an internal server and doesn't have any outside access, every day we upload quite a lot of files and setup new

We want to fix our data folders structre in Samba, for example our folders would be like as Data/Group A/2010 /A

We want all our users can work only in folder A and no one can create any files in data, GroupA, 2010 folders. Similarly no one can delete these basic folders. However users can create further folders in A as required.

Is this possible in samba?

Major problems have been detected and must be fixed before continuing : Change the permissions of the "app/cache/" directory so that the web server can write into it.

I have a Red Hat 5.8 server that is bound to active directory and users are authenticated via active directory when they log in via sftp. User home folders are created during login using /etc/pam.d/system-auth.
