Hello, it's the first time I am not using Debian packages and I have several questions regarding the correct use of paths and permissions. Cherokee runs under www-data:www-data.
I build Cherokee Web Server from source and there are some differences between that and the package installation: 1) - Package: Uses /etc/cherokee/cherokee.conf and /var/www - Source: Uses /usr/local/etc/cherokee.conf and /usr/local/var/www - Question: While somehow the path of the config file looks reasonable, I am not sure if it's common practice to have the www-dir in /usr/local? 2) - Package: Had access to some graphs in /var/lib/somewhere. Can't remember but it just worked. - Source: Now accesses /usr/local/var/lib/cherokee/graphs but has no permission. - Question: I am confused because of the permissions in /usr/local (2775 root:staff). I would simply change the permissions of /usr/local/var/lib/cherokee recursively to root:www-data and chmod it to g+w. I am not sure if this is common practice or wrong! 3) Then I have one last question before I press "Send": Shouldn't the compilation process configure the permissions of folder that it needs to write in? (looking to question #2.) Thanks in advance! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
