unable to write in a directory by ACL users granted with write permission

  • 772

I have two directories

/home/user1/htdocs/  
/home/user2/htdocs/

I have provided permission to www-data using:

chown -R www-data:www-data /home/user1/htdocs/  
chmod -R 755 /home/user1/htdocs/

Then used ACL to provide permission to the site user user1 using:

setfacl -m u:usr1:rwx /home/user1/htdocs/  
setfacl -m u:usr1:000 /home/user2/htdocs/

The later one works with permission 000 works but the 1st ACL statement does not work as I could not write to htdocs using user1.

  1. Instead of

    chown 755 /home/user1/htdocs/

    You have to run

    chmod 755 /home/user1/htdocs/
