Configuring the O/S: File permissions

• Change the group to wwwadmin:

  # chgrp -R wwwadmin /home/httpd /etc/httpd \
   /var/log/httpd /etc/logrotate.d/apache
  

• Let the group write to the directories:

  # chmod -R g+w /home/httpd /etc/httpd \
   /var/log/httpd /etc/logrotate.d/apache
  

• Make the group ownership "sticky":

  # chmod g+s /home/httpd/* /etc/httpd/* \
   /var/log/httpd
