| 17:22:52 |  darkblue_b | aaime: try to log out and back in |
| 17:23:22 |  @freenode_aaime:matrix.org | Yeah, I have the group now |
| 17:23:25 | @freenode_aaime:matrix.org | scary :-D |
| 17:23:34 | darkblue_b | our livedvd project has a group, and the group owns all the shared dirs |
| 17:24:07 | darkblue_b | hehe |
| 17:24:17 | darkblue_b | right - the trend is to touch the web-visible things by hand a lot less |
| 17:24:29 | darkblue_b | security :-( no fun |
| 17:29:15 | @freenode_aaime:matrix.org | @robe256 I could remove files, but not folders for some reason |
| 17:30:09 | @freenode_aaime:matrix.org | robe256 I could remove files, but not folders for some reason |
| 17:30:11 |  robe256 | yah I think geotools was different cause it was via webdav nginx account so probably call got set as www-data |
| 17:30:24 | @freenode_aaime:matrix.org | it sems one has to be the actual user to remove those |
| 17:30:33 |  jodygarnett | is that not usually "execute" permission on folders? To modify folder contents ... |
| 17:30:58 | robe256 | I get all lost with the numbers on permissions |
| 17:31:01 |  jef | traverse. w is modify |
| 17:31:06 | @freenode_aaime:matrix.org | I removed files in them, it's just the folder that I cannot delete |
| 17:31:26 | @freenode_aaime:matrix.org | > rmdir ./gt-geotiff/22.2-mistake |
| 17:32:01 | @freenode_aaime:matrix.org | > rmdir: failed to remove './gt-geotiff/22.2-mistake': Permission denied |
| 17:32:04 | jef | should als that all that be chmod -R g+w www-data ? |
| 17:32:30 | robe256 | okay will reset the permissions to what jef said |
| 17:33:36 | @freenode_aaime:matrix.org | From a ls, it would seem group has w permissions though: |
| 17:33:56 | @freenode_aaime:matrix.org | drwxrwxr-x 2 www-data www-data 2 Jan 21 17:28 22.2-mistake |
| 17:34:29 | robe256 | try now |
| 17:34:33 | @freenode_aaime:matrix.org | now it worked |
| 17:35:13 | @freenode_aaime:matrix.org | thanks |
| 17:41:40 | darkblue_b | :-) |
| 17:43:21 | darkblue_b | .. I learned that all users in linux get a "group" automatically.. so user www-data which owns process chains and resources like open files, is also a group |
| 17:43:57 | darkblue_b | .. adding other individual user ids to the www-data group is slightly messy, but common for 25 years |
| 17:44:29 | darkblue_b | thanks to aging, grumpy physics colleague for the background info, new to me |
| 18:40:54 | robe256 | :) |
| 18:59:27 | | @freenode_aaime:matrix.org left the room. |
