what is the best way properly configure owner writeable directory on shared hosting?
File system | drupal.org Quote:
"Ensure that the new location for the path is writable by the web server process. To grant write permissions for a directory named uploads, you may need to use the following command from a shell or system prompt (while in the installation directory):
chmod o+w uploads
|
"
I can't follow the directions above with the access I have... so I get this error
warning: is_dir(): Stat failed for sites/default/files/css (errno=13 - Permission denied) in /usr/blah/blah/000000/webspace/httpdocs/example.com/includes/file.inc on line 888.
when i change the dir to 777, then it works... however,
"changing chmod to 777 isn't a good idea,... as it allows anyone to write and execute to the folder."
so... what is the solution on a shared hosting system?
is there anything i can do? or is this something i write a ticket for?
