I recently installed PostfixAdmin 3.1 doing the install as root and changed file permissions to 640 per the instructions. However, I cannot access it unless I make the files world readable (644).
Question: What owner:group should applications be installed as under /srv/www/htdocs? I currently have phpMyAdmin and PostfixAdmin.
Apache usually runs as user "wwwrun", group "www". Unless you have a really good reason, I would not recommend to "chown wwwrun" the files - doing so will also give write permissions to these files (which can be a possible security risk) "chgrp www" (with perms 640/750 for directories) does what you ask for. BTW: Is there a specific reason why you want those files not to be world-readable? Regards, Christian Boltz -- Das wird mit TCPA alles vorbei sein.
