Hi all, If I have a comma separated text file of the form: filename.ext,thumbnail width,thumbnail height,img width,img height for example: inside3.jpg,100,75,640,480 over.jpg,100,75,640,480 stairs.jpg,100,64,640,410 tower.jpg,78,100,320,410 (...)

  Re: Help with users and grps in unix...
 
(...) I guess I'll risk that. It's still safer than just using mod 777, right? Thanks for all the help, --Bram (23 years ago, 24-Jul-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Help with users and grps in unix...
 
(...) (assuming that the directory is group owned by dlsesign) - yup, that'll work. just don't forget that _anyone_ that has cgi access on that server will be able to read/write to that directory... On a shared box, that may mean 100s of people. (...) (23 years ago, 24-Jul-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Help with users and grps in unix...
 
(...) Thanks, Dan! Will adding "nobody" to group "bldesign" make it possible for my php script to write to directories set at mod 775? I'd like to know for sure before I ask support if they'll do that for me. Thanks, --Bram (23 years ago, 24-Jul-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Help with users and grps in unix...
 
(...) to see who's in a group: grep "groupname" /etc/group to see what groups a user belongs to: id "user" to add users to a group, you have to be able to edit the /etc/group file - which (on any sane system), only root can do. sorry... (23 years ago, 24-Jul-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Help with users and grps in unix...
 
Hi all, Is there a way to check which users are members of a grp? Also, can a member of a grp (not root) add other members to the grp? For example, I want to add "nobody" to "bldesign" so that my web scripts can have write access to a directory set (...) (23 years ago, 24-Jul-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) probably one of the recent outlook viruses - they send to everyone in your address book... So people reading Lugnet via outlook will have everyone's names... At least they can't post messages with viruses :) FUT off-topic.geek - If you want to (...) (23 years ago, 24-Jul-01, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: PHP help...
 
(...) That would help, except that I've already made and ftped data to most of the directory. And I'd rather not FTP 25 MB again over my puny 56.6 connection. I've contacted tech support to see if they'll get my telnet access fixed. --Bram Bram (...) (23 years ago, 24-Jul-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: PHP help...
 
(...) well, to do a chgrp, you need to have either root access, or be a member of both groups (the current one and the new one). What you can do (assuming you can chmod, and that you have cgi access), is chmod a directory to world writable, and (...) (23 years ago, 23-Jul-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: PHP help...

  Re: PHP help...
 
(...) what you need to do is set either the owner or the group of the directory to the webserver's user (nobody, www, apache, whatever). Once that is done, you can give permissions to the server to write to the directory. In general, no user can (...) (23 years ago, 23-Jul-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  PHP help...
 
Hi all, I need to be able to write files (for example, thumbnail images) to a directory using a PHP script. The problem is I'd rather not give world write access to the thumbnail directory. Is there a way I can change users inside the PHP script so (...) (23 years ago, 23-Jul-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Creating a webpage Was Re: 12 of my favorite pictures of Legoland, CA
 
(...) Hey Brendan! I have found one of the best places to start with a webpage is to look at www.webmonkey.com. It has almost everything you need to learn HTML, etc. I just use Windows Notepad for most of my code writing. Pages don't have to be (...) (23 years ago, 23-Jul-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

It won't be absolutely perfect to begin with-- heck, I was tickled to even create a page that only had text! Here was a webpage (...)

Hello! (...) I really don't have a clue where to start with a webpage. It just seems like it will take forever and there are so many details to mess with...details that I think will end up forgetting in the long run that will be crucial to the (...)

  Creating a webpage Was Re: 12 of my favorite pictures of Legoland, CA
 
(...) <pared away a bit here> (...) Speaking as a clueless non-geek type, it isn't really that hard. Presumably you have a place to host your webpage. I would find out all the info they have first. Often they have ways you can create webpages (...) (23 years ago, 22-Jul-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.legoland, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Are you talking about the new UI change? My first impression is that it might actually be useable now. Performance has *vastly* improved. I haven't decided what to think of the new UI, but overall it certainly doesn't seem worse than before. (...) (23 years ago, 19-Jul-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
