man chown man chgrp man setfacl
generally the files should not be owned by apache and only
writeable by the owner, in your case you
from point of security it is very bad if the webserver has
write-permissions because it may lead after a small breach in
manipulated files wide opening the doors
Thank you. In my case, it looked like root was one of the owners of
the directory but apache wasn't. The owners were listed as root and
me. But I couldn't write to it.
I did a chown anthony: /var/www/html and that seems to have given me
write privs since I'm now the owner. I couldn't find the man page for
setfacl but I'll dig around the net and see if I can find it.
In the meantime, I'm assuming simply taking ownership of the directory
shouldn't open any security holes, right?
Thanks for the quick help!
