RE: [cobalt-users] ownership problems

["Clark E. Morgan" <prlhkr@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This would be controlled by either the user the cgi is running as or if
running as root (poor idea) then the script may be explicitly setting the
user as nobody. Logged in as root, chown the script to this user
(siteadmin?) and you should be alright. If you have php/mysql up and
running, Phorum at www.phorum.org is pretty nice and aside from the initial
install, I have not experienced users needing to manually edit any files.
Might be worth a look.
