Website files in Unix system

[ajk_2]

Hi there,

How are you?
I would like to tell you that I am using HP9000 K Class Server and I am using it to develop websites. When users open the websites through a browser, the unix system changes the web files's owner name they touch those file in the websites before. However they don't login to the unix using their unix account.
I don't know why. Am I saying that clearly? If not, sorry about that! Could you help me, please? Thank you very much.

Regards
ajk

Hi,

Please check that the user id that the
browser uses only has 'read' access to
those files. If they have any sort
of 'write' access anything is possible.

hi,

Accessing (reading) a file through the web (http) should not changed its permissions or ownerships.

Are you referring to files which are modified through CGI scripts?? (forms etc.. ). In that case check those scripts to see how it is writing its output.

If you're using a remotely decent web server, the timestamp on the files should not be affected.
You are using a web server, aren't you? What is the URL that the user types into the browser location bar to access the pages?
