Permissions for website directories/files & Share Points for managing files

Hello.
I'm wondering if anyone could lend some advice in how to best set up permissions, both POSIX and ACLs, for the following setup?
#1 - Permissions for directories and files for hosting a website (via OS X 10.5 "Web" GUI). Basically, I'm curious as to what people suggest for the basic files for the directory (and sub-directories and files) that go into the backend (html, images, etc.) of a website? I'm going to be being files over from another machine, so I may need to propagate these permissions once they've been moved over?
#2 - Permissions (ACL) for allowing users to access these directories and files for editing, etc. via client Macs on our LAN (this server is going to be a development web server for initial building/testing).
Any advice would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Kristin.

Hi Kristin,
The "other" or "everyone" group should not have "write" permissions to any files under your website document root folder. The Apache web server runs as user "www" ... "www" is usually in the "everyone" group, thus allowing read-only access to the website.
You can set up the owner of your files to an admin account. Perhaps set up a group with write permissions to the file shares where your website files are.
You must first analyze who should have access to what, base your groups on that ...

  • Proper way to make bulk changes the Owner ID, Path and file share credentials for my existing subscriptions, ExtensionSettings

    We are going through with an upgrade/migration to SSRS 2012 and moving everything to a different domain. We have about 200 active subscriptions running, the reports are being delivered to a file share.  What is the correct way, in bulk, to change
    the OwnerId, the Path and the FileShare Username password credentials for these subscriptions?  I see these values are being stored in Subscriptions > ExtensionSettings.  I see that the file share path and Owner wouldn't be a problem to change,
    but since I see the file share credentials are encrypted I would not be able change them directly in ExtensionSettings.  Anyone know the proper way to change the Owner ID, Path and file share credentials for my existing subscriptions without having to
    change each one of them manually in the report manager?
    Note: Reporting Services Native upgrade from SSRS 2005 to SSRS 2012.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Cygnus46,
    Based on my understanding, you want to change the Owner ID, Path and file share credentials for all existing subscriptions.
    In Reporting Services, the subscription information are stored in the Report Server database. In your scenario, you can go to report server database and run the query to list all the subscriptions, then modify the owner and fileshare paths in the subscriptions
    table. For more information, please refer to this article: Tip: Change the Owner of SQL Reporting Services Subscription. If you want to change
    the file share credentials for subscriptions, you can run the query provided by
    wiperzeus from this similar thread:
    Windows File Share Delivery/ SSRS 2008 R2.
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

  • Patch for Macromedia Director 6.0 Upgrade for Windows - DOES ANYBODY STILL HAVE IT?

    Hello, I am a collector of 1990's multimedia who likes seeking out older, pre-Adobe versions of Director. I have the upgrade version of Director 6.0 for Windows, and it's unfortunately part of an early batch that comes with a corrupted copy of the Projec32.skl stub projector file, rendering 32-bit projectors made with the upgrade version of Director 6 for Windows unusable (only 16-bit projectors will work).
    Macromedia released a patch on their old website to address this issue shortly after the release of Director 6 back in 1997, but I can't find it anywhere on the Internet these days. Does anyone still have this patch, and if so, can you share it with me? (FYI, the filename for the patch is "D6wpatch.exe") Or, alternatively, if any of you still have the full, non-upgrade version of Director 6 for Windows, can you share the Projec32.skl with me? (it can be found in Director's installation directory, normally "C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Director 6")
    Thanks if you can provide any help,
    Ryan
    (EDIT 10/26/2012: addendum about alternative sharing method was added to the above text, since Director 6 and prior versions are getting harder and harder to find on eBay these days)
    UPDATE 11/23/2012: I finally found the solution... after calling Adobe tech support to no avail (they searched, but didn't find it - they said that all the old Macromedia files got lost after they purchased Macromedia a few years back), I managed to solve the problem myself! I manually extracted the projector stub code from a working 32-bit Director 6 projector executable in a hex editor, and saved that code as a separate projec32.skl file. I replaced the corrupted projector stub, and I proceeded to make a 32-bit projector with a small test movie I made. And guess what - it worked! Thanks, everyone, for viewing this post. I hope that helps!

    After countless hours of reading I finally discovered what the problem was. I did not read thoroughly through the support documentation which allows a person to update their IPOD video very easily simply follow the directions "and I mean the entire directions" within the following link. I would also strongly suggets following the area which state to d/l Quicktime separately from Itunes. This completely rveresed my problems, and now I have a great functioning IPOD once more.

  • 10.5.2 share point for folder not showing all the sub folders via afp?

    Hi, I just set this up late last night. I have a sharepoint set up for a folder. Under this folder there are maybe 8 other folders, with their subsequent folders there after. My issue is I set this point up for the higher level, set proper permissions and only half of the folders show under all the log ins? First thought was permissions. I set up myself full control ACL and propagated throughout. Same issue. To skirt this for now I am sharing the folders that do not appear and it works fine but kind of a pain for all the users. Any thoughts? Thanks for any help or suggestions.

    Others are all read only. I did unshare and share this again thinking that would work but nope... Thanks

  • Creation of forms in Custom list for different departments in share point online .

    Hello ,
    We are using office 365 E3 plan in our organization.Recently we got a requirement from the management to create forms for different departments.I will explain a bit more on requirement.
    We have three departments A, B & C .We want to create a form in such a way ,fields varies based on their respective department .If a form has 30 fields to fill , dept A fills
    only first 10 fields which they need and will forward the form to next dept to fill remaining fields.Here when Dept A forwards the form the first 10 fields has to be hide for other depts .when Dept B and C logged into their accounts to fill the form only their
    fields need to be available in the form and remaining options has to hide .After filling all fields from different dept . After filling the forms Dept A can see all the fields to check the data .
    Any one can please help me out how to initiate the process to meet this requirement.

    The simlest approch for you is to create 3 different list with 3 different forms. But you can update their connection string to store the data(xml) in same list or different list 
    Or try below:

  • How can i configure Distributed cache servers and front-end servers for Streamlined topology in share point 2013??

    my question is regarding SharePoint 2013 Farm topology. if i want go with Streamlined topology and having (2 distribute cache and Rm servers+ 2 front-end servers+ 2 batch-processing servers+ cluster sql server) then how distributed servers will
    be connecting to front end servers? Can i use windows 2012 NLB feature? if i use NLB and then do i need to install NLB to all distributed servers and front-end servers and split-out services? What will be the configuration regarding my scenario.
    Thanks in Advanced!

    For the Distributed Cache servers, you simply make them farm members (like any other SharePoint servers) and turn on the Distributed Cache service (while making sure it is disabled on all other farm members). Then, validate no other services (except for
    the Foundation Web service due to ease of solution management) is enabled on the DC servers and no end user requests or crawl requests are being routed to the DC servers. You do not need/use NLB for DC.

  • Installing office 2010 - should I set up share point for users

    I have just upgraded from office 2003 to office 2010.  We are limited to 2010 because of some legacy programs.
     Anyway this is my first install of office 2010 that eventually I need to install on 40 or 50 computers.  After it is installed there appears a menu item to set up sharepoint. It says "Welcome to Sharepoint Workspace" "Create a new
    account" when I click Next it asks me to "Create an account using your email address" and so on.
    We do not have a sharepoint server, I also know almost nothing about sharepoint. We use Exchange 2003.
    Here are my questions,
    Can I create a sharepoint account without having sharepoint server?
    Is there any advantage if I can install it?
    If having SHAREPOINT without a Sharepoint Server is useless then should I in future installs remove some portion of the install when I install office 2010?
    I know this is a bit of a generic question but I really don't know what sure point does this by watching videos, it seems like it does a lot of the things that's other programs already do like address books ensuring of calendars.  That's really what exchange
    does.
    Thanks.

    Alex has hit all the right notes in his response and the one that I'd agree with would be the planning.  It's not uncommon to hear stories of firms putting SharePoint in, before they get around to thinking what to do with it.  It is a collaborative
    product that can provide answers to defined problems.
    On the SharePoint workspace issue, my personal thought would be give it a miss.  It doesn't have a 2013 version and it'll be pointless giving this to your user base, only to have to remove it depending on what your settled SP plans might be.

  • Can't set up share point for external drive on Xserve

    I have an iomega 2TB drive connected to an Xserve. I can not seem to access the ext. drive from a client machine. I've been able to do this in the past, now it doesn't show up as one of the mountable drives when I connect to server.
    I CAN see it if I remote in to the sever. On the server desktop, the ext. drive is mounted. I can access it there, see folders inside and everything. However, if I look in the Server app, from a client machine, the ext. drive shows up in the list of volumes, but the disk space bar is all gray (no green, yellow or red) as if it's not readable. I know this is kinda hard to describe, but the bottom line is that I can't access my ext. drive that is attached to the Xserve.

  • Using File Share creates another .motn file.

    Whenever I use the share feature under File to save out a H.264 file it also creates a Motion project file in the directory with the render. Is there a reason for this? I end up with tons of these duplicate files I have to clean up.

    Maybe Compressor is supposed to delete them when it's done? Does it have rights to the directory?

  • ITunes loses files (Exclamation point) even though files are still there

    A large number of my songs appear with an exclamation point next to their name, indicating that iTunes can't find the actual song files. When I try to access them (get info or play) I get the option to find them with explorer. When I look in the folder they SHOULD be(i.e. artist, album), they still are there! iTunes should have been able to find them itself. I can "re-connect" them by selecting the file(s one by one), but this is very time consuming for a large library, and it keeps happening - making it a never ending process. Those exclamation points HAVE to be cleared up, or those songs won't sync with the iPod.
    1) Why does iTunes keep losing files that are still present in the correct folders ("iTunes organizes" is checked)?
    2) Since the files ARE still located in the proper folders, is there a way to get iTunes to reconnect them automatically?

    Okay, guys. I think I have a solution. It's working now anyway.
    There is a response to a post on a similar topic that I found helpful with this issue.
    Go to a post titled: "Loss of iTunes library, with entire library still on iPod". As of this moment it is on page 11 of the posts.
    In it is a write up with links about programs that transfer the music and playlists on your iPod back to iTunes. You can try the demo versions. There is also a link to reviews of some of the programs.
    I tried most demos that worked with Windows and found that the one that seemed best for me is called iPodCopy. I tried doing what I'm going to tell you about using the demo version but found that it doesn't allow enough transfers to do my whole iPod so I had to purchase it for $20. I didn't want to spend the money, but decided my time is worth more.
    So, here's what I did.
    Download and purchase the software.
    Make sure that iTunes is closed and your iPod is NOT connected.
    Open iPodCopy and go to "help" for the very simple directions of "how to".
    Follow the instruction carefully so you don't overwrite your iPod accidentally. Check out the instructions/FAQ's about not accidentally syncing your iPod while connecting.
    NOTE: If you have windows, press Ctrl & Shift and CONTINUE TO HOLD while and after you connect your iPod. This will ensure your iPod does not begin to sync.
    Once you get into iTunes, click on your iPod and check off the manual sync and enable disk.
    Next, I chose to create a new iTunes Music folder and directed iTunes to that folder. That way I knew it would be the restore from my iPod and not mess up my existing iTunes folder in case something didn't work right.
    Then go back to iPodCopy and follow the instruction.
    I have been able to recreate my iTunes now using my iPod and so far there are no exclamation points, all the songs and playlists are back, I'm playing music, and my iPod has been updated using the recreated iTunes. All seems well so far.
    Hope this works for you!! If you have any questions about this I'll try to check back later and answer.

  • Quorum location for Failover cluster file share witness

    So, I've done quite a bit of searching for what I'm about to propose and I've been able to find nothing.
    I currently have a multi site failover cluster hosting separate 2-node SQL clusters at each site connected through an Availability Group.  For the failover cluster I am using a file share witness hosted on a server at the primary site.  Both sites
    are built entirely on vSphere 5.5 and have full replication for the production servers.  If the primary site goes down (disaster), I'll need to force quorum in the secondary site to a new file share witness.
    Well, I got to thinking...
    Why not just replicate the server hosting the file share?  I completely understand the reasoning behind not putting the file share witness on DFS, but a replicated virtual server, why not?  If the primary site fails, the replicated server hosting
    the file share witness is brought online with the rest of the production servers in the DR site.  In that case, the only thing that changes is the server IP address, but ultimately, the server name and share where quorum is hosted all stays the same.
    Ultimately this prevents needing to find a 3rd geographical/cloud location to host a quorum/witness at.  I can't imagine it's this "simple", but maybe it is.  If this is possible, and there's not something I'm missing, this essentially
    makes the quorum file share witness site agnostic, meaning it could live or be moved anywhere that replication is allowed.
    Ideas, thoughts?  Am I missing something?
    Thanks!
    Chris Miller

    Most likely it would be better to put this question to the High Availability forum -
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=winserverClustering
    But, might need a more complete definition of your environment.  Are you saying that you have multiple 2-node clusters, each with one node in the primary and the second node in the DR site?  And you have a single file share server located in primary that
    is used to host the file share witnesses for all these clusters?  You want to use VMware to replicate the file share server to the DR site so that it can be made available should the primary site fail?
    It should work, but it will not be automatic.  After all, the replicated VM will need to be brought online at the DR site so the SQL cluster will recognize it.  That is not an automatic process.  So the cluster will be down until
    you bring the file share server online so it can be recognized.  Not a whole lot different that simply forcing the DR SQL host to run without quorum.

  • Points for products (or services)

    Hi,
    An idea just occured to me.  How about allowing points to be redeemed for products or services? 
    For example: 100 points for a SAP pen, 500 points for a SAP T shirt, 1000 points for a SAP book etc.  Perhaps if is too expensive to give away products, you could only charge shipping and handling, or give them at cost.
    This may very well be a silly idea.  But I would not mind getting a SAP T shirt.  I am new to SAP and have only a few points, so maybe there could also be some other way to get SAP products (at low prices).

    I never got (or was offered) the orange shirt, but I did get the 1K T-shirt which was light blue.Reached the 2K mark too late ...
    Of the two I have I prefer the red one (the blue is a bit too small...:-), except it shouldn't say I am only half K. I am actually 2 K - Kjetil Kilhavn - so I should really have received that dark blue shirt immediately after joining.

  • Points for Wiki contribution

    Hi everyone,
    I want to know how long does it take for the moderator to award points for a Wiki contribution.
    I had contibuted by submitting content on Wiki and creating a new page on August 26, 2009. I had raised the request to moderator to award points but I have not been awarded any points yet.
    Is there a way to find the status of our pending points ?

    Hi Michael,
    It is an interesting problem how to fairly and accurately integrate the wiki contributions to the points of the rest of the system.
    At the SDN Day in Amsterdam I am having a discussion session around Online Reputation where we will discuss that aspect too.
    Wiki pages have many authors and are never finished. That leaves us with two problems to solve, when to give points and to whom?
    My current thinking is to change that by letting the community suggest excellent contributors and their contributions.
    I created a page on the wiki for exactly that. It is an experiment and will be done manually which is not scalable, but it will give us insights into how to create the automated version.
    If you stumble over some excellent content on the wiki, please check the author and suggest it on the Wiki Points page:
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/home/wiki+points&
    As always open for improvement suggestions, Mark.
