That doesn't seem to be the problem: 1 - As far as I know, apache is running as group apache and there's no problem with the group definition (or with any other group definition). [EMAIL PROTECTED] solomon]$ cat /etc/group|grep apache apache:x:78: 2 - I'm talking about one machine here so the possibility for different groups on different machines is not relevant. 3 - Even if there had been a problem as described above, I don't see why it would cause the permission problem since, as I already wrote, all the directories in the path have the search bit (x) set for owner, group and other. > >[EMAIL PROTECTED] solomon]$ ls -lad /var/www/html > >drwxr-xr-x 15 apache apache 720 Jul 31 00:07 /var/www/html/ > >[EMAIL PROTECTED] solomon]$ ls -lad /var/www > >drwxr-xr-x 11 apache apache 272 Jan 23 2005 /var/www/ > >[EMAIL PROTECTED] solomon]$ ls -lad /var > >drwxr-xr-x 27 root root 680 Jan 31 20:09 /var/ -- Shlomo Solomon http://the-solomons.net Sent by KMail 1.7.1 (KDE 3.2.3) on LINUX Mandrake 10.1 ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
