Permissions: What's the right way to give Apache more user permissions?
Before I knew better, I used /home/someuser/public_html/scripts as a place from which shared scripts could be accessed by various users' php scripts.
include('/home/someuser/public_html/scripts/somefile.php');
Something changed when we went from one server to another and now the only way that was working was to set public_html to 0755. Since we now have some customers with access to their own accounts, this is not acceptable. I tested a work around by adding a user to the same group as someuser and putting another folder at /home/someuser/test_folder and setting it to 0750. Now my users who share the group can access test_folder. A user that is not in the group cannot, but if I chmod public_html from 755 to 750, I get permission errors even from the users that are in the same group. I checked lsattr and the only attrib that is set is "I" on public_html
Any ideas on what to try next?
ls -ld /home/someuser /home/someuser/public_html /home/someuser/public_html/scripts /home/someuser/public_html/scripts/somefile.phpand ofsu -c groups user1where user1 is not in the group. – Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' Aug 17 '12 at 18:24nobodyor run any process asnobody: that's what it's for. Create another group. And use access control lists (ACLs) to manage permissions, that's almost always the answer to website permission woes. – Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' Aug 17 '12 at 21:25
