File Permissions for iTunes U - cgi directory

I am attempting to link the PERL script for access to iTunesU to a local Open Directory. When I click on the link to the script, I am asked to enter my username and password. I try to enter one of the accounts from the same server but nothing authenticates. The login just fails.
The error reads "This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested."
How can I get the script to authenticate using an account on the local server?

This is OS X server? ... or Apache running on a Linux/BSD/other *nix box?
To run a CGI script, you have to change permissions so that the web server can run the script. Something like:
chmod a+x script-name.pl
should do the trick.

Best method of wma audio file conversion for iTunes/iphones

best method of wma audio file conversion for iTunes/iphones

Fazel,
As you know, iTunes for Mac is not capable of processing WMA files. The two best choices are:
Get access (even temporarily) to iTunes for Windows. It can convert your WMA files to the format indicated in import preferences. Use a USB flash drive to copy the files back to your Mac.
Use a 3rd party conversion program. The one most preferred by Mac users is EasyWMA.
In either case, once you have the converted files, add them to your iTunes library. Then delete the WMA originals.

Aperture 3 default file permissions for referenced images

Hi,
This might be a bit more an OS X question than an Aperture question, but perhaps asking this here might help other people with similar case.
Is there a way to change the default file permissions Aperture 3 sets for image files imported from a digital camera?
My wife and I both import photos from our camera to a directory hierarchy under /Users/Shared/Photos/, and we both have our own Aperture libraries which reference the masters from that location.
However, when one of us imports photos from the camera, the permissions for the image files are set as 600 and the permissions need to be changed into 660 (for example) or otherwise the images are not readable for the other. (In the shell umask shows 0022 by default, but as I start the Aperture from the dock, changing the umask in the shell doesn't help)

OCR and Votinging Disk File Permissions for NFS 2 node RAC cluster

This is a fresh reinstall of Oracle 11gR2 Clusterware on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 64bit and I'm using NFS as my shared storage.
I've create three file systems /ocrVote01 /ocrVote02 and /ocrVote03 as NFS share and exported them to two nodes that will use them as shared OCR and Voting Disk. Currently I'm getting errors when I run root.sh
I've done the following:
chown rac:dba -R /ocrVote01 /ocrVote02 /ocrVote03
It appears that the root.sh script is trying to create a directory /ocrVote01/storage and getting permissions denied.
Any idea why Root can not create this directory?
root.sh is also getting error permission denied at /u01/gridinfra/11.2.0/GI/crs/install/crsconfiglib.pm at line 4478
Any Ideas on what file permissions should be set for /ocrVote01 /ocrVote02 and /ocrVote03 ?
Thanks

After reading OTN feedback, which is very much appreciated. I decided to look deeper into my NFS configuration and found that the /etc/exports had the incorrect configuration for shared disk where in root can make appropriate changes to voting disk and crs files. The correct configuration for /etc/fstab using NFS for shared storage for voting disk and CRS:
192.168.1.21:/ocrVote01 /ocrVote01 nfs rw,bg,hard,nointr,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,tcp,vers=3,timeo=600,actimeo=0 1 2

192.168.1.21:/ocrVote03 /ocrVote03 nfs rw,bg,hard,nointr,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,tcp,vers=3,timeo=600,actimeo=0 1 2

There is a guy with 170,000 songs. There may be even bigger libraries out there.

How to set default file permissions for applicatio...

I have the nokia n86 and was wondering if there was any way of setting the file permissions of a program via the phone. To put it in context, i downloaded a program that edits photos but everytime i try to load a picture from my phone it asks me (for every single folder in my phone, not just the photo ones) if the program can open it. I can be there clicking yes all day as i there is a lot of folders and subfolders on the phone. I know sony ericssons had an option where you could select the programs permissions to always ask or never ask but i cant seem to find a similar option on the nokia.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Same issue here. Everything I put on the drive is set to Read-only for the group.

Windows 7 ignores file permissions for shared 10.5.8 folder

I set up a shared folder on my Mac using SMB. I also set up an account with limited privileges (read only) for accessing it. The problem is that, while the Windows 7 computer needs the account password to access the folder, once it's accessed the file permissions are completely ignored, permitting to user to change and delete files at will.
Any ideas on how to keep the folder Read-Only?

When you enter the account's password, you are logging in to the Mac as that user, which is why everything is coming up as read + write.
This article indicates that you have to provide the account name and password for SMB sharing:

Best Video File Type For iTunes and Xbox360

I have an extensive digital library and I am trying to have one file for all devices.
What I am looking to do is to have one file that can be managed by iTunes, play on my iPhone and stream to my xbox360 via Connect360 and look good. File size is not a concern. I dont want to do multiple encodes.
The important features are one file playable by iPhone and Xbox360 via Connect360 that can be managed by iTunes. I would like the video to be of very high visual / audio quality.
I use handbrake to convert video files.
My question is, what is the best file type for this scenario? I have used mv4 but more recently I am using MP4 with 264...
Again, one file to rule them all....
Thank you in advance!

Old thread for others, but,,... It isnt necessary to convert a bunch of files, if you have Plex on your pc, and on your iphone/ipad.
I would have spent a month converting the terra bytes of all the video files that I had but i just airplay and my Plex app to send nearly any type of file on my Imac directly to my Apple tv.
It converts on the fly any file that isnt supported.

How to set file permissions for SFTP uploaded file?

Hello,
is it possible to set file permissions with the SDK for files uploaded via SFTP transfer? I use the default sample plugin ftp_upload.lrdevplugin to transfer the files, but would like to tweak it to set the uploaded file(s) to permission 644 (rw-,r--,r--) on Linux server. Currently the server sets new file(s) by default to 600 (rw-,---,---).
I am looking for an option to do the "chmod" directly from Lightroom without doing any modificatios in general to default umask, etc. settings on the server. No real UI is needed for this. Just hardcoded setting for 644 in the .lua.
So far I've been unsuccesful in finding the way. Googled, read this forum, looked at the API. Maybe I just missed it, or does this functionality exist?
All advice is appreciated!
Cheers,
Timo

Niel's suggestion is good. You might also try posting your question in the Tiger Server forums. I'm sure Tiger Server has several ways of dealing with this.

[Solved] Problem with file permissions for a group

I'm working on a simple Apache HTTP server just to get a small education in proper unix work.
To save myself sudoing everything (and generally because it seems the proper way to use unix), I'm trying to give my user control over the /srv directory. So I ran:
- `sudo groupadd srvadmin` to create a group called srvadmin
- `sudo chown -R :srvadmin /srv` to change the group-owner of /srv to srvadmin (and all files inside it)
- `sudo chmod -vR g+w /srv` to give /srv and all its files group write permission
- `sudo gpasswd -a <me> srvadmin` to add my user to the srvadmin group
But I still can't create or edit files in /srv
"ls -l / | grep srv" gives:
drwxrwxr-x 4 root srvadmin 4096 Dec 19 17:44 srv
all the files and directories inside /srv also have group write permissions and are owned by user "root" and group "srvadmin"
"cat /etc/group | grep srv" gives:
srvadmin:x:1000:<me>
However, possibly herein lies a clue:
"id" gives:
uid=1000(<me>) gid=100(users) groups=100(users),7(lp),10(wheel),50(games),91(video),92(audio),93(optical),95(storage),96(scanner),98(power)
That is, "id" doesn't tell me I'm in the srvadmin group.
It seems like there's an important concept about groups and permissions that I'm not getting, but reading several man and wiki pages hasn't enlightened me. Could anyone suggest what I'm missing?
Thanks.

Ok, this is pretty embarrassing given the parallels with the topic of this thread, but I coudn't edit the title (which is the reason for my earlier remark; I assumed I didn't have permission)!
The text box was un-editable (not "disabled", I just couldn't edit the text in it). I managed to change it in the end by deleting all the text and typing a new title. I think it may have been just because the title was at the exact character limit.

Using iPod as external file source for iTunes

I have a laptop and a HUGE iTunes library which is stored on an external HDD.
I'm taking the laptop on vacation (and not the external drive) which means that I won't have an iTunes library while on the trip.
I don't want to transfer GB of audio files onto my laptop HDD just for a trip but I would like to use iTunes.
I wonder if I can -
1a. Set my iPod to act as a portable drive (I forget what this setting is called)
1b. Mount my iPod as an external drive
2. Create a new iTunes library on the laptop HDD
3. Set the preferences to import songs data but to leave the files where they are (I forget what this setting is called exactly).
4. Import files found on the iPod external drive.
I realize that iTunes would only be able to play music when the the ipod was mounted as a HDD.
Does that sound like it would work? Is there anything I'm forgetting?
Thanks.

You don't have to do any of that. Is your iPod large enough to hold your entire library? If so, all you have to do is set your iPod to MANUAL manage. Under manual manage, you can now hook the iPod up to ANY computer running iTunes and play the stuff directly from the iPod in iTunes.
To be safe, you still may want to start a new library on your laptop and just leave it empty. Then you can switch to that library when on vacation, play anything you want out of the iPod and not have to worry about accidentally messing something up with your normal library if/when it tried to access stuff from the external drive that is not with you.
When you get home, switch back to your normal library and change the iPod back to Auto update. Nice thing about this is when you change back to auto, your iPod will sync back to your original library and all the updates like ratings, play counts, last date played, etc. will sync back.
You can test it out right now. Just change your iPod to manual manage, APPLY, then go ahead and play right out of the iPod in iTunes.
Cheers,
Patrick

Setting file permissions for 'wheel' group files

I have a bunch of files I copied from my PC when I made the transition to my Mac. I'm having problems moving or backing up many of the files apparently because the Mac has set the group for these files to 'wheel' and I'm not sure how to change them back. My efforts to chown or chgrp the files always result in "Operation not permitted" error messages.
I have been able to select a file at a time in the finder and use the get-info option to change the permissions, but I need to do this for thousands of files and it takes too long manually.

When downloading itunes updates, i get an error that reads file folder for itunes media has an invalid character

The error message read "file folder iTunes media has invalid character".

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

File permissions for a deployed ias 6.5 app

i am running ias 6.5 on HP-UX 11.1
I have ear files deployed on 3 different servers and all of the in house developed apps are deployed with 775 permissions.
/iplanet/ias6/ias/APPS/$APP_NAME
Such that $APP_NAME is 775 and so are all files recursively under it.
This week our developer deployed some test apps and they are deploying with 755 permissions. I then noticed that the default test apps like 'fortune' are also 755.
I want the test apps deployed as 775. Does anyone know how to control this? Outside of recursively chmod after deployment.
What causes some to deploy at 755 and some at 775?

Well, it looks like you haven't actually configured a datasource with that name. You've only configured the use of the datasource were it to exist. I don't know iPlanet, so you'll have to consult the docs to find out how to create the DS.

How to set permissions for files created by Windows on OS 10.8 volume

I am in process of upgrading from an iMac with OS 10.6 to an iMac with OS 10.8. In my office network, I store all files on my iMac and let the Windows PCs act as workstations to read/write onto the Mac. (It's simpler to have all files centralized in one location, and only have to be concerned about backing up one volume.)
When I had OS 10.4 and OS 10.6 any newly created file saved by the Windows PCs onto the Mac could be opened by the Mac.
But with OS 10.8, I can not open newly created files from Windows. The file permissions for the newly created files from the Windows PCs are:
PCUser = read/write; Everyone = no access.
What do I need to do so that newly created files from the Windows PC (currently Windows 7) can be opened by the Mac, without having to use Get Info to reset the permissions each time?

You could try adding this Access Control Entry (ACE) to the folders you let them save to:
sudo chmod -R +a "accountinggroup allow delete,chown,list,search,add_file,add_subdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directory_inherit" /Path/to/topmost/folder
You first need to create a group for all the sharing people you want to have access to that folder, if you don't already have one. In the example, "accountinggroup" is the group, so change that to whatever you want to use.
The ACE allows them full access to the files in the folders. If you want to limit that, remove the option (such as delete).
You create Groups in Users & Groups System Preference just like creating a new user. Just change the account type to Group.
If you want a GUI to do the settings, try Sandbox. It's got a few glitches in the Interface, but it seems to write the ACL correctly. One glitch is selecting the Group or User. I had just a list of Continuing in the popup menu. I typed in the Group name I wanted and it worked. Some errors pop up as you traverse the file hierarchy, but you can dismiss them.
Here is an old hint, which gives a little background, and some other options: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20090219133314985
The Server tools would allow you to set this up more easily, but if this is all you need as the server, I don't know if it is worth it.
