Hi, I'm a newbie of DA and I'm giving the panle to my customers.

My customer wants to be able to upload files in public_html so that they can be seen/downloaded with a web browser.

I think he could do that till friday, now I noticed each file he uploads gets CHMOD 644, and therefore it cannot be seen over the web.

I guess default CHMOD was (or should be) 755, as he uploads with root permissions!

Any suggestion?

Second question: this morning a customer stopped receiving e-mails...I found that he was over with space on server and that was the reason: can I set DA not to stop e-mail service when space is over for a customer?

Thank for your help!
 
chatwizard and Emiliano,

It's not about suspend at limit so much as it's about running Dovecot, which puts email in /home, which generally is a directory with quotas turned on.

So even if you don't suspend at limit you can't write once quotas are exceeded.

Best thing is to turn off quotas if you need email to go to users who are over limit.

Would of thought suspend at limit would over-ride quotas :|
 
It might make sense to you, chatwizrd, but think of it from the kernel's point of view:

Here comes an ordinary userspace program and says put something owned by joe into the home/joe directory structure.

What would be the use/purpose of having quotas at all if you'd let anyone violate them.

No, if you don't want to say now when the limit is reached, then why do you have a limit in the first place?
