Good Day all OK background need to set up a LAMP server with sftp access to /var/www/html Using scripts from the net, I followed this path Create a user "webguy" mkdir /home/webguy/www_dev mount --bind /var/www/dev/ /home/webguy/www_dev edited /etc/fstab to make it permanent This redirect worked >From there I am in a hit and miss area (and I know it will be a simple solution that I just don't see) Getting the rights/owners and httpd.conf has not worked I created a group called webusers, and made webguy a member of that group (we don't have to keep this, but it is how I got it to work for sftp access) Ls chown chmod /var/www root:webusers 770 /var/www/html root:webusers 770 Now webguy can upload, and change files but I go http://myserver/ I get 403 forbidden so this is a rights issue I have erred on. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. T. James
