Nope, the format of that command on Linux is
chown username.groupname fileselector
Generally chown has to be run as root in order to be allowed to change the file
owner. The command on OS X is nearly the same but the user and group are
separated by a colon, not a period.
-R means "recursive", and yes, you probably did want to have used that option
so that all items in the directory, and not just the directory itself, have their
ownership corrected.
You're right; -R means "recursive". I have never used 'chown -R'. In
this case I did not need it because I applied the chown immediately
after creating the SVNParent. Here is the latest version:
* APACHE_USER=www-data
APACHE_GROUP=www.data
SVNPARENT=/data/svn
sudo mkdir $SVNPARENT
**sudo **chown $APACHE_USER $SVNPARENT
**sudo **chgrp $APACHE_GROUP $SVNPARENT
sudo chmod 0700 $SVNPARENT
*
