Permissions issue with webserver and svn
Update: Please anybody can give some help ?
I've an issue with files ownerships.
I have a drupal website and the "files" folder needs to be owned by "www-data" in order to let the users to upload files with php.
However I'm now using svn and I need all folders and files to be owned by my ubuntu user in order to work.
Files have 775 permissions, so both user and group have full access to the files.
I've added my ubuntu user to www-data group but it still doesn't work. I dunno why.
I've tried to change the group to my ubuntu user group but it still doesn't work.
I've also tried to set my ubuntu user as owner, and www-data as group, but in this case the webserver php script cannot anymore upload files into the folder (and this is again strange because the group has full privilegies).
thanks

CHGRP(3) 1 CHGRP(3)
chgrp - Changes file group
SYNOPSIS
bool chgrp (string $filename, mixed $group)
DESCRIPTION
Attempts to change the group of the file $filename to $group.
Only the superuser may change the group of a file arbitrarily; other users may change the group of a file to any group of which that user
is a member.
PARAMETERS
o $filename
- Path to the file.
o $group
- A group name or number.
RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
Changing a file's group
<?php
$filename = 'shared_file.txt';
$format = "%s's Group ID @ %s: %d
";
printf($format, $filename, date('r'), filegroup($filename));
chgrp($filename, 8);
clearstatcache(); // do not cache filegroup() results
printf($format, $filename, date('r'), filegroup($filename));
?>
NOTES
Note
This function will not work on remote files as the file to be examined must be accessible via the server's filesystem.
Note
When safe mode is enabled, PHP checks whether the files or directories being operated upon have the same UID (owner) as the script
that is being executed.
SEE ALSO
chown(3), chmod(3).
