Re: [CentOS] Apache and web content permissions

2017-12-03 Thread Pete Travis
site - Assume the web server user should have at least read access on all files in the site documentroot, or we'd put them somewhere else. - Make a list of directories (uploads, cache, session files, etc) the web server must have write access to. - Use various permissions utilities to make sure humans and web server can do their assigned work and nothing more. The first three steps are basically requirements gathering; for best results, don't skip ahead to applying permissions changes until you've established what permissions are needed.
