[cobalt-users] RE: Site user:group permissions

["Steve West" <wppiphoto@xxxxxxxx>]

Dan,

No the site does not have frontpage enabled. We are trying to upload using
the site.

The box has the latest updates and I'm just wondering what the default
user:group should be for the site.

I think the problem occured after I got a CGI Wrapper error stating that the
user doesn't have privilages, so I went and changed the user:group on the
entire /web directory. After doing this, the cgi script works fine but
something is wrong because when I try to upload content to the site, I get
"Permission Denied" message from the ftp software.

Basically, should I do the following:

chown nobody:nobody -R /web

Or should I be using the site admin:

chown siteadmin:httpd -R /web

Thanks!

SW

Is it a FrontPage site? If so, you shouldn't be using FTP.

Do you have the latest updates for the RaQ? I believe it changes to "nobody"
in the updates.

Are you trying to upload as the site admin or server admin?
