[Dxspider-support] Permissions

[Kin]

It is not how it is executed, it is what is executed.

Just look at the script to see that the permissions assigned are correct as
well as the owners.

.

su - sysop -c "chown -R sysop.spider spider"

su - sysop -c "find ./ -type d -exec chmod 2775 {} \;"

su - sysop -c "find ./ -type f -exec chmod 775 {} \;"

.

 

If the script encounters a file or directory with the wrong owner, if you
are sysop you won't be able to fix it, ergo...

The directions say to run script as root. I may not be smart, but I am
obedient.

Everything in the /spider install path should be owned by sysop. You 
should really do 'sudo chown -R sysop .'

Why do you run the upgrade as root? It should be run as sysop to prevent 
permissions problems.
