Zenphoto setup - what is the correct method for proper permissions?

http://www.zenphoto.org/
Permissions are "drwxr-xr-x 3 root root" for all directories mentioned
apache DocumentRoot is default of "/srv/http"
Zenphoto is extracted under http in a folder named "photos". When I initialize the Zenphoto setup in my web browser, I receive numerous errors that the setup php does not have write permissions within the "photos" directory.
The setup recommends setting 777 to all folders within and including the "photos" directory (zenphoto base).
I really don't want to set 777 permissions... Zenphoto setup doesn't complain if I set permissions to 775. But I am wondering if there would be less issues if I just set the "photos" directory recursively to the owner of "http"
Which would be best/proper?
Thanks!

I notice that if I do a repair permissions 2 or 3 times in a row that some of the same permissions are repaired again and again.
I assume you are referring to the log entries which contain "We are using special permissions..."
If so, you can safely ignore those messages. They are purely informational. This is not indicative of a permissions problem.
There is also no need to repair permissions while booted from the system DVD. Running it the way you are is fine, and you should only need to do it when you have a problem with your machine resulting from improperly set permissions.

  • What is the correct procedure for repairing permissions

    I am getting ready to upgrade to Tiger from Panther. I have used the disk utility to repair permissions after an upgrade or hardware addition. I have always done it using the disk utility and not from a boot up on the OS install dvd.
    Is there a difference? I notice that if I do a repair permissions 2 or 3 times in a row that some of the same permissions are repaired again and again.
    Thanks for any info!

  • Update my app. What is the correct procedure for updating an app/folio?

    I designed a folio in Indesign CS6 and created an app of the folio in adobe dps and succesfully uploaded it to the app store. Now I want to update my app. What is the correct procedure for updating an app/folio?

    no, just update your content and recreate the Single Edition App. Your certificate should still be valid so there is not need to recreate these.
    ... your App ID absolutely need to be the exact same one you used for the first version if you want to make sure this is an update.

  • What is the best method for saving files off of the hard drive?

    I would like to save music files and photos somewhere other than my hard drive (eg. CDs, DVDs, zip disks). What is the best method for doing this?

    It rather depends on how paranoid you are
    External hard drives protect you from hard disk trouble on your machine.
    Optical media (CD's, DVD's) protect you from trouble with magnetic disks - such as external hard drives and the HD in your machine. Optical disks are thought to be more reliable that magnetic disks for long term storage.
    Off site back-ups will protect you from fire or theft at your home or office.
    How paranoid are you? Personally everything is backed up across three diferent external HD's. And maybe twice a year I burn a copy of my photos onto DVDs and they go to a relative's house across town.

  • What is the best method for transferring iTunes library from PC to iMac?

    I have a new iMac.  I have authorized it with my iTunes account.  My current iTunes library is on a Windows Vista PC, not on the same network.  What is the best method for me to use to transfer the iTunes library from the PC to the iMac?
    iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

    Did I just answer this in another post for you?
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

  • What's the best method for a nav menu with image rollover for all visitors?

    Hi.
    First, thanks for reading this.
    What's the best method for a nav menu with image rollovers for all visitors, including PDAs? I've used JavaScript rollovers for years because the majority of my customers' visitors use some version of IE (past 7.0) but I'm building a new site that has to display properly for the widest range of visitors imaginable. (I also know that I need to use a more modern method for everyone and this is my excuse to start).
    Finally, using images is critical. I apologize ahead of time to anyone I offend, but I have never seen a nav menu without images that doesn't look just plain terrible.
    Thanks.

    If you want the best menus possible for Dreamweaver look no further than Project Seven:
    http://projectseven.com/
    They have all kinds of menus and other extensions available for purchase.  Easy to use and they work as advertised.  I personally use Pop Menu Magic and Tab Panel magic myself.  I could go on and on, but I guarantee that if others respond they will echo the same sentiment for Project Seven.

  • HT1229 what is the best method for using a iphoto with an external hard drive for greater capacity?

    what is the best method for using a iphoto with an external hard drive for greater capacity?

    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

  • What is the correct syntax for using a variable in an ad hoc query?

    Hi all
    I am an occasional DB user and at the moment need to update about 1000+ records so that a certain column gets a unique value.
    So I thought that I would use a variable for this.
    I then built this kind of SQL statement for just a small subset of the records:
    variable recNumber number;
    exec :recNumber := 1;
    UPDATE TABLE_TO_BE_UPD
    SET COL_TO_BE_UPD = COL_TO_BE_UPD + recNumber
    WHERE COL_TO_BE_UPD IN ('VAL_A','VAL_B');
    I get the invalid SQL statement error when attempting to execute above (besides the prompt that asks for a value which I would like to omit).
    Anyway I also tried this one:
    CREATE SEQUENCE seqCounter;
    UPDATE TABLE_TO_BE_UPD
    SET COL_TO_BE_UPD = COL_TO_BE_UPD + seqCounter.NEXTVAL
    WHERE COL_TO_BE_UPD IN ('VAL_A','VAL_B');
    From this one I got the error ORA-01722: invalid number...I am guessing this comes because seqCounter is of type number and the COL_TO_BE_UPD is of type character...(?)
    So what I would like to ask is what is the correct way to define and use a counter type of variable to append a number at the end of a character string?
    Also another question that I would like to ask is that are variables that are used in ad hoc queries also called 'bind variables'?
    Thanks muchly

    If you want to append a unique number to a column then this would do it:
    UPDATE TABLE_TO_BE_UPD
    SET COL_TO_BE_UPD = COL_TO_BE_UPD ||to_char(rownum)
    WHERE COL_TO_BE_UPD IN ('VAL_A','VAL_B');

  • What is the best method for backing up photos in IPhoto?

    I have over 10,000 photos in IPhoto and am looking for the best method for doing a backup (or an archive?).  I'm now using ICloud and it appears it's just photo streaming and does not have storage capability. External hard drive, copying to a DVD, other suggestions?

    Most Simple Back Up
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex:
    Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
    My Routine
    My Library lives on my iMac. It’s Backed up to  two external hard disks every day. These disks are permanently attached to the iMac. These back ups run automatically. One is done by Time Machine, one is a bootable back up done by SuperDuper
    It’s also backed up to a portable hard disk when ever new photos are added. This hard disk lives in my car. For security, this disk is password protected.
    I have a second off-site back up at a relative’s house across town. That’s updated every 3 or 4 months.
    My Photos are backed up online. There are many options: Flickr, Picasa, SmugMug etc. However, check the terms of your account carefully. While most sites have free uploading, you will often find that these uploads are limited in terms of the file size or the bandwidth you can use per month. For access that allows you to upload full size pics with no restrictions you may need to pay.
    Every couple of months I test the back ups to make sure they are working correctly. It’s very easy to mis-configure a back up application, and the only way to protect against that is to do a trial restore.

  • What is the correct procedure for upgrading to aperture 3.4

    I am working in South Sudan and am shortly going to be in a place where I can download all the updates. The last time I did an update was around 2 weeks ago.
    I presume that there will be updates for Mountain Lion, iPhoto and Aperture, plus a whole pile of iOS updates. From the support questions I see that there is a number of people having problems.
    I presume that the first thing to do will be to rebuild the library of aperture.
    What is the correct procedure after that?

    If I do an upgrade through AppStore, and find it does not work, do I uninstall first by removing to trash? What do you mean by revert to an earlier version, and which previous version of Aperture should I use.
    Neville,
    So you did buy Aperture from the AppStore?
    Then move the Aperture application to the Trash, but do not empty it, just in case
    Sign into the AppStore and reinstall. In this case you do not need to revert to an earlier version. If the AppStore installer does not find an Aperture in your Applications folder, it will have to make a full install, and no incompatible frameworks should remain, as is the problem with the partial upgrades right now.
    Yes, I have a bootable clone,
    And have you checked, if you really can boot from your clone? Just being very cautious.
    Do you use facebook? Some posters are having problems, even after reinstalling, if the want to publish to Facebook. Post back, if you encounter that problem.
    Good Luck
