Hello, Thanks for your reply. I've made the permission change. Apache is not part of the webdev group webdev is just a group i made to put web developers in, that's also why permissions are 775. id apache returns 48 as that's the user and group id apache is running under, it's installed from the rpm. I have restarted apache since adding users to the webdev group. Thanks. Dave. p? What does "id apache" return? Did you restart Apache after adding the user to the "webdev" group? -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces at centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces at centos.org] On Behalf Of Filipe Brandenburger Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2009 1:53 PM To: CentOS mailing list Subject: Re: [CentOS] WebDav on CentOS?

If you want files created under that directory to belong to group "webdev" you should set permissions to 2775 (first "2" is for "g+s" or setgid bit) on the directories under /var/www/test.example.com/data. This will force new files and directories to have the same group as the parent directory, and new subdirectories to have the setgid bit as well (so that files under those will have the same group too). > [Tue Aug 18 12:33:19 2009] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] File does > not > exist: /var/www/test.example.com/data/New Folder [Tue Aug 18 12:33:20 > 2009] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] (13)Permission > denied: Unable to create collection.
