How to assign correct permissions to both webserver and svn users?

  • 772

I've an issue with files ownerships.

I have a drupal website and the "files" folder needs to be owned by "www-data" in order to let the users to upload files with php.

However I'm now using svn and I need all folders and files to be own by "svnuser" in order to work.

So now, I guess I need to add both users to a group with proper permissions. I'm not sure what exactly to do, could you tell me what are the exact necessary steps?

thanks

    There is also a group called www-data. The files you have in your webroot should all belong to that group and have write-right for the group. Assuming your webroot is /var/www you can do this by executing (as root or by using sudo)

    chgrp -R www-data /var/www
chmod -R g+rwX /var/www
