Hi there,

I just finally managed to install FRAPI on my VPS, which is great, but
I'm running into a weird issue - FRAPI is telling me that

"The "/srv/www/vhosts/.../custom/Action" directory is not writeable by
the current user (MyUser), therefore we will not be able to
synchronize the codebase until the user has write access."

However, looking at the directory, I can clearly see that user MyUser
is the owner of the directory, and that the permissions are set to
775.. the group should be irrelevant in that case..

When I set the permissions to 777 it works, but I would really prefer
to avoid that - any idea why this is happening?

Cheers!

Can you show us the output of ls -alF on that directory?

Hmm, changing the group to that of the server seemed to work.. no idea
why that made any difference when the owner was the right user and his
permissions were there.. duh anyway :)

That was going to be my recommendation :-)
