I'm supporting a web site that uses PHPLive! Support for it's real time support. The client wanted to upload a new patch for the admin site and instead of being smart and researching what he wanted to upload and to where, I did a global change at the root of his public_html directory to the user he uses.
chown -R <his user name> public_html
Now, the PHPLive! program is broken (go figure). I've tried to look back in my history file and found the original root folder ownership (root), and applied that recursively to his phplive subdirectory and all it's subs.
What happens is this:
- You can run the program
- You can type a message to the support person
- They can see the message
- They can reply to the message
- But I cannot see the reply.
I'm sure it's a file ownership issue, but wanted some feedback from you veterans.
Help! I'm stupid!!
