Set_permisions homedir

[snaaps]

Hello,

Is it posible to set all UID and GID in the public_html directory to default with set_permision script?

If not, maby this is a hint...

some files create by Joombla gets the UID and GID apache.
I thouth that when I create a cronjob for set_permisions this problem can easly fixed.

Or are there other soulotions for this problem?

Joomla, Mambo, etc., create files/directories owned by the username they run as. The right way to manage these files is using the same program that created them.

However most of us want them owned by the usernames.

We have several clients using Joomla who've asked us to create cronjobs for them, and others who manage everything through Joomla.

(The cronjobs must run as root which is why the users can't create them themselves.)

do you have a example for the cronjob?

how to setup a cronjob to chown a specific dir to specific user?

 

[nobaloney]

chown -R username:username /path/to/directory

Note it has to run as root.

man 5 crontab should tell you how to format the actual line; I'd put it in /var/spool/cron/root.
