You can combine chown and chgrp in one command, using the syntax "tholmes:apache". You may want to include the directory itself, and not just the contents --- replace the "/*" tailer with "/.". You may want to also use the -h option, to change ownership of any symlinks in the tree as well (rather than the files the symlinks point to). So, in summary, chown -Rh tholmes:apache /var/www/html/mcaschool/. -- Deron Meranda
