CentOS - Mar 2008 - permission on /var/www & /var/www/html

hi all,

assume apache runs under apache user/group and i have a user/group name 
"weber". i use "weber" user to upload files via ftp/sftp.

where should i place my include files so that no one can access except 
apache b/c these files contained user/pw for mysql.

i usually place them in /var/www/html/includes, but people can access to 
this folder, so i'm thinking place them in /var/www/includes.

what should the permission for /var/www/html and /var/www/inclues/? what 
group should these two directories belong to???

thanks,
t. hiep

Hi Hiep,

user: apache group: apache

Cheers, Jan
