 Posted: Fri May 23, 2008 4:21 am Post subject: [Solved] File permission problem with apache2 |
 |
|
I am running wordpress with apache2 on my gentoo box.
When I tried using the built-in theme editor of WP, I met the following problem of file permission.
my www root directory was changed to /home/boblu/www_root
and my WP root directory is /home/boblu/www_root/wordpress
and the ownership of all files under www_root is boblu:boblu
Because in gentoo, the user of apache2 is apache
so in order to let the browser have the permission to write files in /home/boblu/www_root/wordpress/wp-content/theme/k2
I did the following two things.
First, add apache user to boblu group
| Code: | | root# usermod -a -G boblu apache |
Second, make the k2 directory writable by group users
| Code: | | boblu$ chmod -R g+w /home/boblu/www_root/wordpress/wp-content/theme/k2 |
But the problem is, after doing these, I still can not get the write permission by using browser.
Anyway, if I change the permission of k2 directory public writable, the files become writable by using browser.
| Code: | | boblu$ chmod -R go+w /home/boblu/www_root/wordpress/wp-content/theme/k2 |
Also, I found if I change the ownership of k2 directory to boblu:apache, and give them group writable permission, the files become writable by using browser too.
| Code: |
root# chown -R boblu:apache /home/boblu/www_root/wordpress/wp-content/theme/k2
boblu$ chmod -R g+w /home/boblu/www_root/wordpress/wp-content/theme/k2 |
This is strange!
Dose this mean that Apache2 run as a user other than 'apache' but this user is still in 'apache' group?
Can anybody explain this?

Did you restart apache after adding it to the boblu group? When adding real users to groups you have to login again for the changes to become effective, so maybe it's the same with the apache process.
BTW, you can easily determinde the effective user and group of apache with something like
| Code: |
ps -C apache2 -o euser,egroup,cmd |
