Hi I have a user that I use for doing the odd bit of work on my freebsd-6.1-RELEASE machine. I wanted to set apache to work from: /home/user/public_html/ instead of the default location. I can create these folders no problems but i have to do it as root: mkdir /home/user/public_html/ How do I ensure my user can copy files from gui (gnome) to this folder. Im told I dont have permission to copy to this folder. Also apache tells me I dont have permission when I change the DocumentRoot to point to /home/user/public_html/ Just not sure how to go about giving a user permissions on files/ folders I want them to be able to edit. Any pointers? Thanks Eoghan
