hi Ben, Try:
chown -R web.web /sites/shared/logs/ and restart httpd. I have my users set up with a directory structure like this for each domain: drwxrwxr-x 5 user user 4096 Sep 19 19:36 cgi-bin drwxr-xr-x 16 user user 4096 Sep 23 18:42 html drwxr-xr-x 2 web web 4096 Sep 2 12:37 logs Notice the logs directory is actually owned by web and not the user.
