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

["Steve West" <wppiphoto@xxxxxxxx>]

Bret,

Thanks for the info! We don't user frontpage extension but here is what I
found out works (and please correct me if I'm wrong):

chown nobody:sitex web/
chmod 2755 web/
chmod 644 web/*

All subdirectories under the web/ had to be manually edited to have the
following permissions:

chmod 2755 directory

All content had to be removed from the web/ and replaced w/ new files via
ftp. It was a pain to go and change all the directories. I wish there was an
easier way to do this!

But thanks for the help!!!

 	No, you shouldn't do either. What you should so is set the
directories and the files to the default permissions. Your best bet
is to use one of the other sites as a template. But the following
are the default settings on a non-FrontPage web on one of our RAQ3s:

	siteX   nobody.siteX    0755
	web     nobody.siteX    0755
	/web/*  UserName.sitex  Permissions as appropriate
				0644 for static content
				0755 for execuitable content
