urgen! what is the /var directory default permission and ownership
 
Hi Guys!

I want to know the default permission and ownership on /var.

Because I change all the permission to 755 and root:root as ownership.
My system website doesnt work now.

thank you.

Code:
drwxr-xr-x  25 root  root      4096 2008-10-04 09:47 var
This is what I get when I do ls -l /

My sys is fedora, and everything is perfect.

You don't say what distribution you are running, or whether SELinux is enabled. On my (RedHat) systems, the /var directory is owned by root, and the permissions are set to 755, and the command
Code:
#ls -Z /
gives this output for var
Code:
drwxr-xr-x  root  root system_u:object_r:var_t:s0
(I think this is more or less standard.) Is there anything in the log files either for the system (/var/log/messages) or for the web server (/var/log/httpd/????)

yES my SELinux is enabled I can use ls -aZ
I am using RHEL4 2.6.9-55.ELsmp

Hmm, you try restorecon -R and give a try, it might fix problem if problem is related with SELinux...
