Hi, I've always wondered what is the right way to set up /var/www owner and group permissions for Apache. Maybe you guys could shine some light ________ Gsx250Fx ________ ROLL BLUNTS
Which distribution are you using? How did you install Apache? What are you trying to do? Does the directory need special permissions/ownerships?
I usually install PHP applications (Joomla, Drupal, php forums) in dedicated server using different distirbutions , but mainly Debian an CentOS. I don't know if I shoud chown the files/dirs to root, to apache's user. Sometime I have to give special privileges to all users for they to upload files, that's not my doubt. ________ TRICHOMES ________ WEED
If you upload files to that directory with FTP, you should chown it to the FTP user. If Apache needs to write to this directory, you should chown it to the Apache user. If you do none of these, then it doesn't matter as long as the Apache user can read from the directory.
So there's nothing wrong if I let root own the files? I mean, isn't a security flaw? ________ Bdsm leather ________ THE CIGAR BOSS
