• Using ACL on a system that supports chmod +a
  These shell commands will give proper permission to the web server and command line users.

  5.3 and / 2014.05 and higher:

  No Format
  $ cd /<ezp5-root>/ $ sudo chmod +a "www-data allow delete,write,append,file_inherit,directory_inherit" \ ezpublish/{cache,logs,config,sessions} ezpublish_legacy/{design,extension,settings,var} web $ sudo chmod +a "`whoami` allow delete,write,append,file_inherit,directory_inherit" \ ezpublish/{cache,logs,config,sessions} ezpublish_legacy/{design,extension,settings,var} web

  5.0, 5.1 and 5.2:

  No Format
  $ cd /<ezp5-root>/ $ sudo chmod +a "www-data allow delete,write,append,file_inherit,directory_inherit" \ ezpublish/{cache,logs,config} ezpublish_legacy/{design,extension,settings,var} web $ sudo chmod +a "`whoami` allow delete,write,append,file_inherit,directory_inherit" \ ezpublish/{cache,logs,config} ezpublish_legacy/{design,extension,settings,var} web

  
  

• Using ACL on a system that does not support chmod +a
  Some systems don't support chmod +a, but do support another utility called setfacl. You may need to enable ACL support on your partition and install setfacl before using it (as is the case with Ubuntu).
  5.3 and / 2014.05 and higher:

  No Format
  $ cd /<ezp5-root>/ $ sudo setfacl -R -m u:www-data:rwx -m u:www-data:rwx \ ezpublish/{cache,logs,config,sessions} ezpublish_legacy/{design,extension,settings,var} web $ sudo setfacl -dR -m u:www-data:rwx -m u:`whoami`:rwx \ ezpublish/{cache,logs,config,sessions} ezpublish_legacy/{design,extension,settings,var} web

  5.0, 5.1 and 5.2:

  No Format
  $ cd /<ezp5-root>/ $ sudo setfacl -R -m u:www-data:rwx -m u:www-data:rwx \ ezpublish/{cache,logs,config} ezpublish_legacy/{design,extension,settings,var} web $ sudo setfacl -dR -m u:www-data:rwx -m u:`whoami`:rwx \ ezpublish/{cache,logs,config} ezpublish_legacy/{design,extension,settings,var} web

• Using chown on systems that don't support ACL
  Some systems don't support ACL at all. You will either need to set your web server's user as the owner of the required directories.
  5.3 and / 2014.05 and higher: 

  No Format

  $ cd /<ezp5-root>/ $ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data ezpublish/{cache,logs,config,sessions} ezpublish_legacy/{design,extension,settings,var} web $ sudo find {ezpublish/{cache,logs,config,sessions},ezpublish_legacy/{design,extension,settings,var},web} -type d | sudo xargs chmod -R 775 $ sudo find {ezpublish/{cache,logs,config,sessions},ezpublish_legacy/{design,extension,settings,var},web} -type f | sudo xargs chmod -R 664

  5.0, 5.1 and 5.2:

  No Format
  $ cd /<ezp5-root>/ $ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data ezpublish/{cache,logs,config} ezpublish_legacy/{design,extension,settings,var} web $ sudo find {ezpublish/{cache,logs,config},ezpublish_legacy/{design,extension,settings,var},web} -type d | sudo xargs chmod -R 775 $ sudo find {ezpublish/{cache,logs,config},ezpublish_legacy/{design,extension,settings,var},web} -type f | sudo xargs chmod -R 664

• Using chmod
  If you can't use ACL and aren't allowed to change owner, you can use chmod, making the files writable by everybody. Note that this method really isn't recommended as it allows any user to do anything.

  $ cd /<ezp5-root>/ $ sudo find {ezpublish/{cache,logs,config,sessions},ezpublish_legacy/{design,extension,settings,var},web} -type d | sudo xargs chmod -R 777 $ sudo find {ezpublish/{cache,logs,config,sessions},ezpublish_legacy/{design,extension,settings,var},web} -type f | sudo xargs chmod -R 666
