Need to chmod for nobody user

[ofcourse]

Am setting up a package on a Unix box with Directadmin.
Is there a way to do this from the Directadmin interface? -
chown -R nobody directory
Do I need to set up a user called nobody first?

 

[smtalk]

No, DirectAdmin can not chown files to nobody user And it's not used very often, because apache uses apache user and group.

 

[ofcourse]

ok

so what's the solution? I have access to root, just don't have a need to go there very often.

The only way you can do it is through the shell, as root, as only root has the ability to chown files.

Relatively speaking, thanks Albert.

I'm not sure who you mean. That's a picture of me .

Or at least it certainly looks like me.
