Hi Steve,
Thank you for your advice I hope you can help me a
little more.  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?
