Assuming you're using a default CentOS 5.3 + WebDNA 6.2 installation and logging in as root to manage your website files you do NOT have to change any file permissions. Here's the easy way to get permissions working properly when setting up a default CentOS 5.3 + WebDNA 6.2 server: 1- Change umask from 022 to 002 in /etc/bashrc 2- Put user "apache" into the "root" group That's all there is to it. If you perform these two simple tasks then reboot *before* you upload any files to the server WebDNA will work correctly at its default permission settings. You can even make these changes before installing WebDNA. Here's how it works: The umask change insures that newly created and uploaded files can be modified by other users in the same group as the user who created/uploaded those files. This means (for example) that when root uploads a file every user in the root group can modify it -- including user "apache" which you just put into the root group. And since WebDNA is "apache" on a CentOS server this means WebDNA can modify every file created and uploaded by "root" -- after you've made those two simple changes above. :) Sincerely, Ken Grome
