I recently updated my OS, fedora 18, and my ISPConfig. I noticed now a strange permission problem. Code: [root@r2 client_2]# ls -l ... drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 May 6 14:46 web_535 drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 May 6 14:52 web_536 ... [root@r2 client_2]# cd web_536 [root@r2 web_536]# echo "hello" > test.txt bash: test.txt: Permission denied Web fodlers used to be owned by clients before. Are they now owned by root on purpose? How can it be that root can not create files and folders?
Yes. The folders have to be owned by root. The folders are protected with the immutable attribute. If you want to upload files as root, then remove the attribute with chattr command first. But dont forget to enable immuntable bit again when you are finished.
