Exclamation Permissions disappearing
I am occasionally having problems with file and directory permissions changing, seemingly on their own. Usually I just CHMOD it and overwrite it with the proper owner.

However, I am at the point now where I cannot even upload a file in FTP to the /web/ directory from the site's admin account! (web7_admin)

Can you teach me how to properly set the file permissions to this account? I have NO idea how they got changed - I didn't change anything. I don't want to CHMOD my /web/ directory to 777.

Thanks!

Should I do this recursively? How can I prevent this from happening again? It seems to happen on all the websites on the server.

Depends on your application. If there are files or diretories that the Apache user must have write permissions on, then no, otherwise yes.

Please check if there's a cron job or some other process that's changing the permissions.
