RE: [cobalt-users] site permissions help

["Neil J. Kemp" <neil@xxxxxxxxxx>]

change into the web directory:

chgrp -R groupname *

(where groupname will be site1 etc)

This will recurse all directories from that point and change the group on
ALL files/directories. So whatever you do don't do it in the root directory!
;-)

You can use the -R with chown as well:

chown -R username *

Which will change all files/directories to the USERNAME specified and again
will recurse.

Finally you could change permissions:

chmod -R g+w *

Will change all files/directories so that it is group writeable

Looks like i got a problem <grin>

how do i change the permissions of all the files in the web directory per
user? looks like i had uploaded everything using root and of course root now
owns the files and the user cant update anything that root uploaded

is there a fast way per site# to do this?

Rob
