Permission problem

Hi guys,

I have virtual hosting on my apache2, working great but I couldn't create file inside virtual home directory..always says" permission denied"

This is what I did :

As root I did :

Code:

---

#useradd -g john www
#chown -R www:john /home/www/reality.test.com
#chmod 755 /home/www/reality.test.com
exit

$cd /home/www/reality.test.com

$touch test
$touch: cannot touch `test' : permission denied

$ls -l

drwxr-xr-x www john 4096 2006-07-04 10.45 htdocs
$

---

Ok I even change permision to chmod 777 /home/www/reality.test.com (as a test) but still got "permission denied" problem.

BTW what is the secure permission for virtual hosting directory?

I'm assuming john is the user?

Try chown john:www (it's user:group)..

Also id john to see if he's really a member of www..

Don't forget to logoff/logon john when you change his groupmembership..
