Hi,

I've installed XAMPP on Novell's OES (SUSE 9) and have changed the document root to one I can reach across our Netware network. Everything is working fine except when I transfer documents and folders to the document root, I have to CHMOD the new folders and/or docs.

Is it possible to set something on the document root folder so that anything copied into it automatically is CHMOD'ed to be viewable on teh intarwebs

Thanks!

Hi Xardoz,

The only command that I am aware to change default "CHMOD" values (file permissions) is the linux command "umask." The question you ask is not a XAMPP question, but a networking/file permissions question.

This site will give a simple explanation of umask.

If someone else here does not have answer, ask in the Novell forums.
Here's a partial (perhaps complete) answer:

When you get it figured out, please reply to this thread and let those who follow it know how to get the job done.

Thanks,
JK

Thanks. I cross-posted this over at the NDSEngineers.com OES Linux forum Friday. No one has responded yet, but I remain hopeful.
