I know as a regular user (not root) I don't have access privilege to /etc/httpd/logs. But I don't understand why because logs directory seems to have been setup to give all access level to public, as I gather from the following: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Nov 15 2003 logs -> ../../var/log/httpd And also, I am hesitant to change the ownership of this directory to that of the user because then the root will not be able to use it. How can I set this up so that as a user I can use it? Please let me stress that when I have <Directory "/var/www/html/"> and "DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/" in httpd.conf everything is cool. I really thank you for any other advice. I am hoping to install "mambo" content manager under my user account but I need to understand what type of privileges I have as a user. Thanks As a user I don't have access to logs directory under httpd. I know I can change the ownership of that directory to the user but I have feeling that is not the right thing to do. Also, that directory has been configured to give all levels of access (read/write/execute) to all. What is the best thing to do, should I change the ownership of logs directory? -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
