Yurgl... Please never put a 777 anywhere except for a tmp directory in which case it would be a 1777 instead!

To give apache the right to write to some directory in Debian, Ubuntu and other Debian's derivatives, please use this: chgrp www-data /var/www/somedir chmod g+w /var/www/somedir It's too much rights already, so it may open a hole for some intruder/cracker (not hacker) to put his own .php/.pl/.py/.sh/... files, but at least it doesn't open it right away for anybody to do anything in some web directory (which a 777 would do). -- Jean Christophe "????"
