Permissions issue HTTP<->FTP
Hello,
I was wondering how ISP resolve the following problem: a customer
receives an FTP login with read/write access to his httpdocs directory.
Now if the customer installs let's say Joomla, he will upload the base
Joomla installation files and then let Joomla through the web do the
rest. This means that Joomla will be writting files in the httpdocs
directory of the customer. Unfortunately Joomla will write these files
with the account (User + Group parameter in httpd.conf) that the web
server is running on. So that would be www-data on Debian for example.
Now one problem already arises: customer wants to delete the files
created by Joomla: impossible they are owned by www-data...
There are many other problems arising with this kind of configuration...
So how can I setup Apache somehow to deal with this problem ? I guess
that SuexecUserGroup won't help me much as this is only for CGI programs...
Thanks for the help
Regards
