Re: [cobalt-users] starting in /home/sites/site#/web instead of..



I'm a little afraid of using chmod in the /home/sites directory because the 
last time I used chown and chmod I currupted the entire server!  Had to 
restore after setting up 95 clients!!!!!

so what are you saying I do...
cd /home
chmod 750 sites

and that should do the trick?  If by some freak accident this did mess things 
up for me again, what should /home/sites  be?  755 ???   I shouldn't use the 
-R directive correct?  That would change every dir and subdir in /home/sites 
into 750.... thats what I did last time... Oops!

Thanks,
Much Appreciated
