Those would be the correct permissions if your web server (httpd) is running as user app_relmgt (which I doubt) or is in group webmaster (which it probably isn't).
If I recall correctly, you're running either RHEL or CentOS. I'm pretty sure the default httpd user:group will be apache:apache. (You can check by logging on to the server and running ps -ef | grep httpd | grep -v grep
. You should see one process owned by root and a bunch of other processes owned by another user. That other user is the one you want. You can find the groups that other user belongs to by running groups <user>
.)
You'll need to either chown
or chgrp
(or have a sysadmin do it if you don't have administrative privileges) on var
so that write is permitted for the user (use chown
for that) or one of the user's groups that the user belongs to (use chgrp
for that).
Rich,
I've submitted a request to the sysadm to "chown apache var"
Thanks!

For the benefit of observers who may not be familiar with the MWF file structure: We're talking about mwf/var
inside of the MWF installation, not /var
that's used by the operating system etc.
Hi,
I see this error:
Sep 1 07:32:21 as-mobile-qa httpd[3125]: [error] [client 24.130.86.33] PHP Warning: mkdir(): Permission denied in /var/www/html/mwf/root/assets/lib/disk_cache.class.php on line 59, referer: http://m-qa.berkeley.edu/
but the permissions on the var directory look correct to me? drwxrwxr-x 2 app_relmgt webmaster 4096 Aug 10 10:36 var
Do I need to set it in base.ini if I am using "var" ?
