Re: Error: Permision deny.

numero = 62976
interpreted = N
texte = 660 is probably ideal for you. The general idea is the least amount of permissions needed to operate is the most secure you can be. Apache and WebDNA need to operate as the user www or httpd (depending on your distribution of Linux). Then, just to make things confusing, there is also a group called httpd or www. Your user needs to be a part of that group to r/w to those files. Here are some useful commands that one should read about and understand before using: ls -al (this will show the current directory with permissions and owners) chown (this will allow one to change the ownership) chmod (this will modify the permissions) chgrp (this will allow one to add a user to a group) Try man ls or man chown to read more about the commands before using them. I also recommend having a few good books on unix or linux.
