Hi:

For Lite:

I'm easily confused with the "find" command so could you tell me the files and required permissions (755 etc) for the web folders and the data folders?

I have the data folders outside web access and need to know how to set those permissions too.

For ownership on web I have owner:owner for the web files and owner:nobody (how Apache runs). Is this for all files & directories?

Sorry, but find did not let me change ownership using the find command as stated (I did try from root).

Thanks for the help, If I like it may upgrade to Pro.

find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

Means you should assign 755 permission to all subfolders (and the current folder) and 644 to all files.

7 - read, write, execute (navigate for folders) for owner user
5 - read, execute (navigate for folders) for owner group
5 - read, execute (navigate for folders) for others

6 - read, write for owner user
4 - read for owner group
4 - read for others

If Apache process isn't owner of files and folders you should assign the following permissions:

777 (read, write, execute/navigate for everyone) for all subfolders
666 (read, write for everyone) for all files

Apache process must be able to navigate/read/write the data folder, so the permission is 755 for all folders and subfolders and the data folder itself, and 644 for all files contained in the data folder. It's assumed Apache user is owner of all folders, subfolders, files contained in the data folder and the data folder itself.

With regard to the web folder, Apache process must be able to navigate and read all the folders, subfolders, and files contained in the web folder. I.e. permissions are: 555 for folders/subfolders, 444 for files.

Also, "find" might not work if it's just not installed. Perhaps, you should check your Linux distributive and install "find" utility.

Best regards,
Andrew
