Remove Write-protected Regular File Without Permission

I tried adding two users in apache group and given 775 permission to Document root but user is not able to write into files in DocumentRoot

Tried adding user and DocumentRoot Folder in sudo file but not able to do it recursively

please help


Thanks for reply,
I have already given chmod 775 -R DocumentRoot - for recursively writting permission
You have told to add user in www-data group and chmod 775 -R to DocumentRoot
usermod -a -G www-data <user1>

How can users in www-data can able to write in DocumentRoot which has apache:apache owner and group
please clarify...

Done below steps to solve this:
1) I have created a new group webdata and added required users in this group
2) set sticky bit to document root with below command
setfacl -m g:webdata:rwx -R /path/to/documentroot/
this command will set rwx permission to DocumentRoot so that members in webdata can have full access but still DocumentRoot user and group will be apache

Hello,

OS: CentOS 6.3

Background:
I'm trying to set up a situation where my FTP account is in a group where my phpbb forums were created. This will allow me to upload changes as I customize my forums (ie: .css files). However, right now, my problem is that I'm running into invalid permissions and the only way to move the files is to upload the file to a directory my FTP account has access too and then sudo cp the file over. Upon closer inspection of my files, it appears the groups the files have been made under are not the correct group.

Problem:
I am trying to use chgrp on a specific file to change the group owner to the group my FTP account is a member of but it does not seem to be working. Here is a snippet of what I'm doing:

Code:

zzz@aaaa:/var/www/html/yyy/forums/styles/GlossyBlack/theme]$ sudo chgrp apache colours.css -v
group of `colours.css' retained as apache
zzz@aaaa:/var/www/html/yyy/forums/styles/GlossyBlack/theme]$ ls
total 164
drwxr-xr-x 3 5645316 apache  4096 Mar 27 15:11 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 5645316 apache  4096 Nov 18  2012 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1  root     apache 23480 Mar 27 19:05 colours.css

I'm not sure why it still says root so I suspect I am doing something incorrect. When looking around, at first it seemed chgrp could change group owner on files but as I dug more, it seemed it can also change groups themselves. So I'm a little confused and require some clarity of experts.

I hope changing the group owner of this file will give access to my FTP account so I can apply this change to all needed locations.

Thanks.

I am a bit confused and not sure what to look up to fix this issue. When I log in as user, I cannot edit my /var/www/html files.

I have the ownership of /var/www/html set to apache:apache (using centos 7). When I check groups for user it shows user and apache. That does mean I'm apart of the apache group right, and if the /var/www/html is owned by apache, I should be able to edit?

I have VirtualBox up and running on my headless Centos 6 machine, am using http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpvirtualbox/ as a GUI, and created a virtual machine and installed Windows 7 on it.

I can access it using the VirtualBox console (via phpvirtualbox interface), however, only can see part of the screen and the mouse doesn't work properly. I can also access it using Windows Remote Desktop Connection using IP 192.168.1.200:9000 (why port 9000?), but again the mouse doesn't work.

I have the following ext packs installed on the server.

Do I need additional extensions to better interact with the guest? How are they installed? Thank you

I can't believe I wrote a looong message and it logged me out when I tried to submit it.

So anyway, in short lines:

- I have a network of sites where all sites share same "images" folder
- I have created /home/_images/entities and symlinked it from all websites
- It works great with Apache, when I open /images/ on any of the sites I get list of images and can view them

The problem is suPHP which changes process ID of the PHP script to the file owner ID, so when I load site1.com, all scripts are executed as user1 (and files/folders created with those scripts belong to user1:user1). When I load site2.com, all scripts are executed as user2 (and files/folders created with those scripts belong to user2:user2). All these users do NOT belong to the same group, and I wouldn't like to change that as it is cPanel/WHM server so I'm afraid I'll screw something up if I change (primary?) group of all users.

Therefore I need to set it up in such way that all newly created folders and files under /home/_images/entities (owned by root) have read/write permissions for everyone.

Here's the command I used:

Code:

setfacl -Rdm o::rwx /home/_images/entities

To check it:
Code:

root@server1 [~]# getfacl /home/_images/entities/
getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
# file: home/_images/entities/
# owner: root
# group: root
user::rwx
group::rwx
other::rwx
default:user::rwx
default:group::rwx
default:other::rwx

This looks fine, however when I try upload an image via site1.com it looks like this:

Code:

root@server1 [/home/_images/entities]# ls -l
total 24
drwxrwxrwx+ 5 root    root    4096 Jan 14 06:25 ./
drwxrwxrwx  5 root    root    4096 Jan 12 13:08 ../
drwxrwxr-x+ 3 user1   user1   4096 Jan 14 06:25 1/

And in folder "1" is the image (and thumbs folder):

Code:

root@server1 [/home/_images/entities/1]# ls -l
total 236
drwxrwxr-x+ 3 user1   user1     4096 Jan 14 06:25 ./
drwxrwxrwx+ 5 root    root      4096 Jan 14 06:25 ../
-rw-rw-rw-  1 user1   user1   225569 Jan 14 06:25 689048f221ab7c556f4d482a9d92b2d6.jpg
drwxrwxr-x+ 2 user1   user1   4096 Jan 14 06:25 thumbs/

My questions:

1) Why newly created folders do not have "write" permissions for everyone else [not user and/or group]? If I upload first image from site1.com, then I can't upload other images from any other site, while all sites can display them.

2) What is the + at the end of permissions list? (drwxrwxr-x+)

3) Why newly created files have only "rw" permissions for user, group AND everyone else, and not execute permissions? I don't actually need execute flag set here, but from my command you can see I've set "o::rwx" so it should be there (or not?)

Actually the real problem is #1 - other users can't write to this folder so users can't upload images from other sites nor other sites can create (missing) thumbnails.

I have a USB fax modem, and it logs the following errors when turned on.

I know it is impossible to know for sure, but think it is hardware related? Any chance to salvage?

Also, what are the steps to start troubleshooting?

Thanks

ok so im using osx 10.6.8 but i have something with linux on it somewhere I can try this on if that is the problem

I am attempting to take certain parts out of a html file I have figured out how to write a regular expression to specify this data I want to delete using the search funciton in the text editor TextWrangler:

(?<=<div id="right_col">)[\s\S]*(?=</body>)

This works in text wrangler but when I try to use it with sed it gives me errors like this one:

sed: 1: "(?<=<div id="right_col" ...": invalid command code (

I know to use -e to avoid problems with the unix version OSX is based on. The sed is a bit different because its based on an older unix variant but i did that and its still giving me an error. I assume there is something basic I am missing about formatting your regular expression for using with commandline and what characters you can use. I bet it has something to do with the backslashes or the round brackets. normally I would just keep searching till I find the answer but I am bored of this problem. I need to think about something else for awhile. maybe in the meantime someone else can chime in and help me out.

I have many hosts as following. But those hosts are dual operating system (Linux and Windows). I always run program background. If someone is using Linux, it is fine. But if someone is using windows or the host is offline. Then, I cannot use ssh. The way I do preiviously is first ssh one by one. And then find the hosts which are offline or windows. And write them down one by one. And then ssh to hosts except them. Let us assume the number of programs is less than the total available hosts. Can someone write a shell script to output the all available hosts to a file like "host_available"?
Here is the host file.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/vbz6w864y3...tlist.txt?dl=0
I am using ssh to connect the computers on campus. If the computer I am trying to connect is offline or using windows, the ssh will take long time, and finally it will failed. I write a shell script to generate the hostlist
Code:

#!/bin/bash
for i in `seq -w 1 28`
do
echo "c15-0330-$i.ad.mtu.edu"
# I would like to add a command here to see whether ssh c15-0330-$i.ad.mtu.edu it succeeds or not. And then output a #file which contains the all available host.
done
for i in `seq -w 1 20`
do
echo "c28-0112-$i.ad.mtu.edu"
done
for i in `seq -w 1 20`
do
echo "c28-112a-$i.ad.mtu.edu"
done

I do not how to set a certain time to see whether connection is successful or not (see the comment in the shell script).

When I type

service apache2 start

I get a message saying:

The apache error log is blank and doesn't have any information.
Please help me.
