Website setup trouble
I'm trying to setup my server to run php-nuke. The install itself is not the problem more the 'howto set permissions and how to do it right'
My server is next to the client I use so (for now) I don't need ftp to upload files, I can do with fish (or putty) to get them to /var/www/html on the server.
Problem is that I can only upload files to /var/www/... if I'm logged into the server as root. I guess that can't be the right way, so I've setup a new user on the server simply called 'web' (bin/bash). If I log into the server as 'web' I get no write acces to /var/www/ How do I set this up or is it normal to do these tasks as root?
If setting up FTP (server can run FTP-server no prob) is an easier way, please tell me. In the near future more people will have to get acces to /var/www/ for uploading stuff so I need to get this down as well.
Any help or explanation on how to do this right on a linux server is very welcome since I'm clueless and just can't find it on google!
Regards
