The user and group are www-data, and iirc the default permissions on /var/www do not reflect this, but it is safe to change them. For example I do the following: chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www chmod -R 660 /var/www find /var/www -type d -exec chmod 2770 {} \; Hope this helps... -- Thank you, Clifford W.
