reopen 311821 = thank Hello Kai Hendry,
Still Wordpress allows theme modification through its web interface but it's unusable because of the actual permissions model. More than that, you can't upload anything for the same reason! I would suggest to create a "/var/lib/wordpress/" directory to put all writable data, following the example of the "dokuwiki" package. On my side I did this (for now): drwxrwx--- root www-data /var/lib/wordpress/ drwxrwx--- root www-data /var/lib/wordpress/uploads/ drwxrwx--- root www-data /var/lib/wordpress/themes/ And I put links to these directories in "/usr/share/wordpress/wp-content/". Off course it requires to allow the web daemon to "FollowSymLinks" from "/usr/share/wordpress/". We may want to put the full "wp-content" directory in "/var/lib/wordpress/", but I'm not sure about the security implication... Anyway, thanks for the wordpress packaging! :-) -- Jean Christophe "プログフ" ANDRÉ — http://asie-pacifique.auf.org/ Responsable technique régional — Associé technologie projet Reflets (CODA) Agence universitaire de la Francophonie (AuF) — Bureau Asie-Pacifique (BAP) Adresse postale : AUF, 21 Lê Thánh Tông, T.T.
