Hello, I'm running CentOS 5.3. I've got an ftp server set up a pure ftpd server using virtualchroot so that sym links are followed. One user i'll call him user1 in the ftpuser/ftpgroup which is the user and group the server is running under has a symlink in his home directory pointing to the documentroot of a web site. I've got the sticky bit set on the documentroot and have permissions set so that users in the webdev group can write to this area, the pure-ftpd virtual user, which is a system user with a password in /etc/passwd, is in this group. On upload the user1 can upload to the web documentroot. However, the server is unable to display the pages. On checking the status of the uploaded file i see that permissions are not sticky instead of being owned and in a group of apache:webdev which is what they should be permissions are ftpuser:ftpgroup with permission bits 600 which means there's no way the web server will see these files. If i haven't lost anyone options for simplifying this would be appreciated, and suggestions as what i can try to get the permissions to be able to be set up in the docroot. Thanks. Dave. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
