omen Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I am having permission problems on VPS with Joomla files running on apache. In order for Joomla to be able to edit and save files and folders, permissions needs to be set to "chown -R nobody:username" that will work fine, but "username" is unable to modify files since they belong to "nobody" When I change ownership to "chown -R username:username" user is able to modify files and folders, but Joomla won't be able to edit/save any files. Is there a way to the best of both worlds? Can set up ownership to username:username and be able to administer it via Joomla CMS interface? What would you recommend? TIA.

rhodesa Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 try: chown -R nobody:username and chmod -R g+w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhodesa Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 the only other thing you might have to worry about is new files that get created. if you have an issue with that, read up on UMASK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
