group write permission ignored in ubuntu
- by NorthPole
Its probably my stupidy here but i'm stuck on this and would appreciate the help.
I want my user to have full access to the local apache root folder, and i also want the apache to have full access to the same folder.
What i did was create a new group called DevGroup
and i added my username and www-data there.
also i changed the permissions to 770 to allow full group access
but now it wont allow me or the apache any kind of access to the folder.
here is what i get with ls
drwxrwx--- 12 root DevGroup 4096 Sep 27 17:34 testFolder
which seems perfect but when i try as a user to access the file i get this
var/www$ ls testFolder/
ls: cannot open directory testFolder/: Permission denied
also when i try to access the a page in the folder from browser
