I have a software that is running on a Linux server and there was a glitch in the install script and I was told to change ownership on this subdirectory from root to "apache"... and for some reason it says it's changed on the subdirectory and everything below it, but as you can see below what I'm getting in an error log. Thanks for taking a look at this. drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jul 16 23:34 ttc # chown -R apache:apache ttc drwxr-xr-x 3 apache apache 4096 Jul 16 23:34 ttc chown: changing ownership of `/home/fum/ttc/home/fum/lib/templates/members/login.html.tt2c': Operation not permitted chown: changing ownership of `/home/fum/ttc/home/fum/lib/templates/members/neworder-mail.tt2c': Operation not permitted chown: changing ownership of `/home/fum/ttc/home/fum/lib/templates/members/newclient-mail.tt2c': Operation not permitted chown: changing ownership of `/home/fum/ttc/home/fum/lib/templates/members/activation-mail.tt2c': Operation not permitted chown: changing ownership of `/home/fum/ttc/home/fum/lib/templates/members/homeshell.html.tt2c': Operation not permitted chown: changing ownership of `/home/fum/ttc/home/fum/lib/templates/members/header.html.tt2c': Operation not permitted -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Chown--R-saying-it-changed-but-didn%27t%2C-effecting-HTTP-Apache-tp18880314p18880314.html Sent from the Apache HTTP Server - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
