Okay. (Aside: Note that you can use something like mod_wsgi in daemon mode or mod_fcgid to run django processes under a separate user account to the main apache user) Rest is not really django: > The following is a line from /etc/group > idmsaccess:x:1003:ase,www-data,mysql,klog,syslog,daemon,avahi > I am under the impression that means that www-data is a member of the > group idmsaccess Yes, though you may have to restart apache if you haven't since making that group for the session to pick it up.

However, in this case means only "ase" can delete the file, since the sticky bit special case handling applies via the user (the "owner" of the file/directory) not group, and "ase" owns both the file and the directory. This is a Feature. Only the owner of a sticky-bit directory can delete as normal within it, and other people can only delete the files they themselves own within the sticky-bit directory. http://tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html/sect_03_04.html You could remove the sticky bit, but you would be strongly advised to remove the world-writable bit too if you do that... (aside: the s matters too, but what it is doing is setting the group of files created in the directory to idmsaccess, whic is probably something you want) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
