Hi,
I have a LAMP stack on my laptop for learning, "localhost". I'm using
Lighttpd instead of Apache.
When I try to upload some files via PHP code it didn't work. The target
folder is /var/www/uploaded_vids
It was 755 and uploads didn't work. I changed it to 777 and now the
uploads work. It's ls -l is now:
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 2011-04-27 20:50 uploaded_vids
maybe 775 would be enough? Nope, tried 775 for the dir and does *not*
work. Does it make sense that 775 was not enough permissions?
777 works. Is this normal? My browser or whatever component is uploading
is not root? But the server itself is running as root(?).
Could someone help me with uploads regarding permissions so I can better
understand? What are the permissions normally for an upload dir on a
server?
Thanks,
Lee G.
