issues with permissions in a folder (16th Feb 08 at 9:38pm UTC)
Ok so I have a folder called source on one of my websites, it's below the public html folder so it looks like so.. /home/board/source/ The problem is I can't create, delete, move, copy, and files or folders in the source folder. I copied this folder from /home/baord/public_html/source I can't figure out why i don't have permission to do so. The permissions of the folder are 755 I also can't change the permissions of it.

Have you tried using your CPANEL file manager to do those actions?

Posted By Michael on 16th Feb 08 at 9:47pm Have you tried using your CPANEL file manager to do those actions? yes both cpanel and ftp, I haven't tried using root access yet as this is on my server, but I might have some success with that but don't have the proper software on this as it's my laptop.

You probably don't have ownership of the /home/board folder, but the /home/board/public_html folder instead. 755 means read/execute, but no write... What confuses me, though, is why you would've been able to create /home/board/source if you didn't have write permissions for /home/board... ~Artemis
