rights problems ? - DiXeoN - 07-11-2008 04:36 AM

Hello..

I moved server today (not the way described in the docu. because that didnt work here, fucked up mysql and so, so I transfered all files with WinSCP and uploaded all databases manually), but now i got a problem, which is, that all folders is set to owner: root, which means that i cannot upload to them, chmod them or do anything (the WWW folders), how do i change the permissions so that i can do something to the folders again?


Thanks.
Frederik

Allright, im going to use chown, but it only does it for one dir, can i make it do to it to all subdirs too ?

Read the manpage for chown. You can use the -R flag to make it recursive.

By the way, rsync would be a better transfer option as it can preserve permissions and owners if you pass the archive flag.

Thanks for the tip, but i dont wanna wait for 12GB to transfer again, so im just doing it this way Smile

But thanks.

The -R was everything i needed

Hi you have to use a -R (recursive) switch on chmod and chown command

chown -r 2008:2008 /var/www/virtual/mydom.com/htdocs

where 2008 is the user id and group id of the domain account
for chmod you can use in this way

chmod -r 0644 /var/www/virtual/mydom.com/htdocs

ok?

Yes i got it, just used it like this:

chown -R vu20xx /var/www/virtual/mydom.com/htdocs

Where xx is a number

dont forgett the group ->
chown -R vuxxxx:vuxxxx /path/to/domain

Well, it does actually work without setting the group..
