Hi

I have noticed that some hosting provides have been able to set folders to 755 and files 644 but still permit both the Web interface user and the CMS/Forum etc scripts to have write access to the web root of the account. I will provide and example to clarify this more. As the web interface user, I can write to the root of my web account as expected via the cpanel File manager or FTP. On the other hand scripts such as Joomla! and phpBB also have write permissions with the 755/644 settings. So when they are installed or extended, they don't complain about folders being unwriteble which can occur on other servers with the 755/644 directory/file settings.

Does anyone know how this is done or what tool is used to accomplish this on an Linux Apache(2.2.10)/PHP(5.2.8) server?

Regards
