Hi all,
I have a read quite a lot of documentation on Apache, and I have got it up and running fine. However, I cannot seem to find an answer to what should be a basic question...
With security in mind, what should be the correct/safest permissions of the DocumentRoot (e.g. /var/www/html ) directory to be able to upload pages/files as a standard user?
The user is me (I just don't want to do it as root all the time), the site is basic html, and I will be uploading via sftp.
Also, in the future, if I start to use PHP pages, do these file permissions need changing again, as security risk will increase?
Maybe it comes down to basic file permissions, but I just don't want to leave myself open as I'm new to setting up Apache.
Thanks in advance.
Stewart
