Re: [SMARTY-DEV] setting up directories

OK, I thought that the file owner uid had to be part of the group that was the files gid. It's cool that it doesn't have to be :-) Not intuituve though, but cool. messju mohr wrote:

So, do I need to have the host make a group with just me and the webserver in it?

no, you just need a directory whose uid is the webservers uid and whoise gid is your ftp-accounts gid. you don't need to create groups or modify groups-memberships. there is no problem that the webserver-user is not in the ftp-group.

On shared hosting (hosing?), the webserver will own the files that Smarty creates. What exactly is the way to set up permissions so that I have 'rw' permissions on them as well?
       

[in the shell, maybe ask you friendly webspace-provider:] mkdir templates_c chown [webserver_user].[ftp_user's_group] chmod 770 templates_c chmod g+s templates_c [and in php:] umask(0007); $smarty->_file_perms = 0660; $smarty->_dir_perms = 0770; this makes the files created owned by the webserver-users (so he has full permissions), but due to the group-sticky-bit of the directory the files' group is your ftp-user's group. so the ftp-user has write permissions via the group-writable flag.
