[Bug 550413] Re: Personal File Sharing / public write directory, wrong permissions
I can confirm this bug, that's a long-known issue, I thought there was already a bug open for that. The problem is that access to the public WebDav folder is always done via the guest Apache user, and I guess Apache defaults to mapping it to the 'nobody' system user when creating new files. See /usr/share/gnome-user-share/dav_user_2.2.conf /usr/share/gnome-user-share/dav_groupfile I'm really not familiar with Apache configuration, but there must be a way of telling it to log in as the actual user, or at least to set file permissions to this. We could for example use something like an include. ATM there's AuthUserFile ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/user-share/passwd which is used to set the password for the guest user to the value chosen by the user. Baptiste: what's the point of the information you requested? libapache2-mod-dnssd is not installed on my box, but that doesn't prevent the share from being advertised on the network, and anyway that's not related to permissions AFAICS. 'ps -edf |grep apache2' returns no process, but I guess the process is only started when the share is accessed. ** Changed in: gnome-user-share (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Triaged ** Summary changed: - Personal File Sharing / public write directory, wrong permissions + Wrong permissions for files uploaded to Public dir (owned by 'nobody') -- Wrong permissions for files uploaded to Public dir (owned by 'nobody') https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/550413 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-user-share in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Hi Armanda, Could you open a terminal and type the following command: ps -edf |grep apache2 and post the output here. do you have libapache2-mod-dnssd installed because it is mandatory.
