[SM-USERS] Can't find existing Data dir on Fedora 15

Both of these directories should be writable (not readable) by the web server and no one else (except you). In a Unix or Linux environment, that means that they should be owned by the root user if possible (otherwise whatever user you log in as), their group should be the same as that that the web server runs as (e.g. "www-data", "apache", "nobody", "wheel", etc.), and their permissions should be 0730 (rwx-wx---). sean -- Get your Android app more play: Bring it to the BlackBerry PlayBook in minutes.
