File Permissions problems when editing CSS

Richard Lundberg	Thursday 13 December 2007 3:08:16 pm I have recently installed EZPublish 4.0 and was advised to fix file permissions when finetuning <i> cd /var/www chmod -R ug+rwx settings settings/override var var/storage var/cache settings/siteaccess settings/siteaccess/admin design chown -R www-data:www-data settings settings/override var var/storage var/cache settings/siteaccess settings/siteaccess/admin design</i> However by changing ownership I can no longer edit CSS files and upload by ftp as I no longer have the correct permissions. In previous installs (3.7) I never received this message, and on checking the directories, the ownership resides with the site owner, thus I have edited the CSS without problems and the sites are fine. Is there a way around this in 4.0? Can I revert ownership of these directories back to the site owner and not cause any issues. If not, how can I edit CSS files? www.peakm3.com

Richard Lundberg	Sunday 27 January 2008 4:24:59 pm Hi Gert, I have a VPS so it was easy to set up group permissions to edit the CSS files. I'm not sure how one could do it if you are on a shared hosting package. www.peakm3.com
