Hey there For some reason, the permissions on the folders for the my clients have changed to root (both owner and group), and consequently, clients are unable to update their wordpress installations or install themes and the like. Is this normal? And is it advisable to change them back?
You should change the permissions back. Here is how the permissions and users shall look like: Code: root@server1:/var/www/test100.int# ls -la total 40 drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 Jun 6 22:35 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 6 22:35 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 web1 client0 4096 Jun 6 22:35 cgi-bin drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 13 10:00 log drwx--x--- 2 web1 client0 4096 Jun 6 22:35 private drwx------ 2 web1 client0 4096 Jun 6 22:35 .ssh drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 6 22:35 ssl drwxrwx--- 2 web1 client0 4096 Jun 6 22:35 tmp drwx--x--x 5 web1 client0 4096 Jun 11 17:27 web drwx--x--- 2 web1 client0 4096 Jun 6 22:35 webdav all files and folders in the web folder shall be owned by the user and group of the website.
Thanks for the assist. Had a bit of trouble changing the permissions on the files, but turned out to be an attribute issue that i worked out. Just a clarifying question, do the 'log' and 'ssl' directories have to be owned by root?
