I've been chatting on the IRC #django-cms group and it's been confirmed to me that I can't have access restricted to the pages I make in Django CMS to only a select few on the site side. I know of the CMS_PERMISSIONS setting, but this seems to only restrict ...

I've chmodded to 755 my htdocs folder and I gave a specifically "upload" dir the group shared with my collab. So now my collab (via sym link) is able to upload some files via sftp, but he can also traversing all the directorie...
I believe this is a permissions issue, but not sure how to fix it. I have a php script -- mainscript.php -- that calls: $scriptCall = "/usr/bin/php wrap_prep.php 2>&1 &"; When running mainscript.php, the wrap_prep.php never executes. However, when I log into my webserver as root and run php wrap_prep.php 2>&1 & it works fine. I ha...

It seems like the only time I can get mkdir ...

As far as I'm aware there are two main styles of permissions systems out there. I would like to know if the multi-group option is really worth the extra trouble or system load (more queries). It seems that with proper application design there is no need for users to have more than one class - though my applications have never made it big...
