Thanks Paul.

Next question: how do you change the owner of a folder?

I know, you just click on the folder, choose "change owner". But I keep getting an error message:

chown: changing ownership of `/usr/local/pem/vhosts/100599/webspace/httpdocs/moodledata': Operation not permitted

What I'm trying to do is to set up a moodle site, and am following the installation instructions, but keep getting error messages all over the place.

Basically, there is a folder I need to have that is owned by, and writable by, the user that the server runs as.

I can now change the permission for the folder, thanks to Paul, but can't change the owner.

Perhaps its the way I'm doing it?

Any ideas?

Thanks again.

Colm
