Are you issuing the chmod before or after the partition is mounted?

if the drive is fat, you could do a
| Code: |
mount -o remount,fmask=*yourmask*,dmask=*yourmask* *yourmount*
|
yourmask is the opposite of what you'd put in chmod, btw. otherwise...i wouldn't know how to change permissions while it's still mounted. except, maybe you could mount -o bind to another directory w/ permissions set up, but that's a kludge of a fix.
somewhat related...can apache's root be a symlink?
EDIT: no bb in code blocks, eh?
EDIT2: oh, i bunged that up. should be fixed now |

I cant chown either
Can any of you chmod a mounted partition?

What is apache d? Why the space? That might be your problem.

Yes, that should've been obvious.

I think you'll want to make sure you chown the mount point before anything is mounted to it. As it is a windows drive, see the FAQ UN4: mounting Windows partitions (FAT,NTFS) for info on how to mount them.

I think it's the other way around: the chown will only "take" if the partition is already mounted; otherwise, you are chowning the directory on the surrounding partition. Doing the chown after the mount effectively chowns the root directory of the partition. I defer to kanuslupus on the entire Windows issue, which is more likely the cause of your problem, I guess.

I got it permissions sorted using umask in fstab, but now i cant get apache to work with the directory. With 1.3.27 it says permission denied, eventhough a normal user in the apache group can navigate and read from the directorys fine. With apache 2.x it gives me a 404 not found, but in error_log the path it is looking for is correct.
No matter what path is give, none want to work outside of its default, and i've been using apache for years
Gonna try using the config from my server so i'll see if i missed anything.
Thankyou for your help everyone! |
