Hi, I installed APache 2.2 + Tomcat 5 + SSL and they run perfect. the program upload a document or documents(pdf,ppt) on APache htdocs with java web application. but when I want to browse it I get forbidden file access, then I have to go the htdocs directory and run the chmod command like: chmod 755 the_name_document. after that the program can access that file. The java application and Apache/htdocs directories Owner and group are: drwxr-xr-x root root. how can I solve this problem? should I write a perl script to change the permission at run time. I am not expert on Linux too. Thanks, MK
