That entirely depends on what you're trying to achieve. In general, owned by some other user (you or root for example), group to match the webserver, and chmod so that user has read,write and group has read only. The only exception is data/ which should be read/write to the webserver user. Of course, I get through writing that, and notice you're using windows 2000. So, find out the user that is running the webserver. If it's running as you, consider making a special user just for it. But the same applies (practically). Only directory which the webserver should have write access is the data/ directory. The rest can be restricted to read only (execute and read for directories, read for files). -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf -- squirrelmail-users mailing list List Address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] List Archives: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=2995 List Info: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/squirrelmail-users
