Many thanks for your help,
So I am on the right track then?
When you say :
"something like:
cd /var/www
chown www-data:www-data -R ./*
chmod 644 -R ./*"
Is this guaranteed to melt my server and give Andy at Bitfolk a nervous breakdown?
Cheers,
Cliff....

In general you would want the apache user to own the web server
folders. In your case, you want to do something like:
cd /var/www
chown www-data:www-data -R ./*
chmod 644 -R ./*
This will change the ownership of all files under /var/www to
User:www-data and Group:www-data, and set the permissions to rw-r--r--
(you should avoid execute (x) permissions in webserver folders where
possibly).
Hope that helps,
Paul

Hello
Bitfolkers,
Back to my 503 error, I wrote to the domain module creator
http://drupal.org/node/330563 and the only thing I can come up with
(after checking my Drupal permissions is the Ownership of my Server
root. At the moment
it is User:root Group:root that doesn't sound right to me. I also have
the user www-data in Group www-data (from apache I presume) that has
the home directory of /var/www (server root) Could confusion over the
Ownership of the /var/www directory be causing me poblems? The last
time I tried altering Users and Ownerships I fried my server, thought
best I should ask before I start mucking about again!
These are my suspicions, it will be interesting to see if I am correct
or barking up the wrong tree..again!!
Cheers,
Cliff..
