Problem with files/dirs deletion
Hi,
The other day i installed a PHP based CMS (modx) on my shell account and noticed that i couldn't delete any of files/dirs it created after.
Also, i noticed that all that stuff is owned by username-www instead of username.
I tried chown, chmod and using a PHP script to do the same wti those files but to no avail. All i get is:
rm: cannot remove `somedir': Permission denied
Environment is somewhat restrictive so i don't have access to root.
Could someone land a helping hand?
