Re: OT : need help - server permissions issue

I've been asked to set up a blog program for a client on his
Linux-based server, which I've done, and pretty much everything works
OK. However, two things have issues : the image gallery and movie
upload.

When a file is uploaded via the blog admin, and it arrives on the
server, it has permissions set at 600, and the owner are group are
both "10003", whatever that is. As a result, it throws up a "403
forbidden" error when the page is loaded, and the gallery doesn't
work. This is despite the fact that the upload folder has its
permissions set at 777.

When I upload via FTP, the situation is slightly different :
permissions seem to be set at 644, and there is no owner and group at
all (??).

Where are the automatic permissions settings? Is it a server config
issue, or does it come from the blog? I'd like the files to respect
the enclosing folder permissions, i.e. set their permissions
automatically to 777. How best to ensure this?

Cheers! TIA!

Ric, Linux Server is a closed book to me. Have you tried posting this
on one of the Linux forums? What flavour of Linux is it?
