CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi,
when File Creation Mask (FCM) is set to 022 (or 002), the test shows that "owner" is set to "nobody". It prevents me from changing permissions for files and directories created by cmsms. How should FCM be set to create files/diretories without setting "owner" to "nobody"?

The file creation mask has nothing to do with the owner or group for created files.  Those are determined by the owner and group of the web server process.

The file creation mask is used to determine the read/write/execute permissions for the uploaded and newly created files.  For details on Unix/Linux file permissions and the umask ("file creation mask"), see:

Thank you.... I couldn't have said it better.

If you're hosting your website on a unix/linux host, you should take the time to understand unix/linux permissions.  However, people on windows machines don't understand permissions either.
