Files/folders permissions and ownership

Please follow the following instructions to ensure Bacula-Web will run safely and properly.

Summary

Here is a summary of the required permissions and ownership

File/folder	Ownership	Permissions
/	www-data	drwxr-xr-x (755)
/application/views/cache	www-data	drwxr-xr-x (775)
/application/assets/protected	www-data	drwxrwxr-x (775)

danger

For security reasons, never use 777 mode on any folder(s) or file(s).

Instructions

$ sudo chown -Rv www-data: /var/www/bacula-web
$ sudo chmod -Rv 755 /var/www/bacula-web
$ sudo chmod -v 775 /var/www/bacula-web/application/views/cache
$ sudo chmod -v 775 /var/www/bacula-web/application/assets/protected

tip

The above example uses the www-data user (typical on the Debian or Ubuntu platform); you may have to change it to apache or a different user.

Run ps aux | grep httpd or ps aux | grep apache to determine which user runs Nginx, Lighttpd or Apache web server.

If you've installed Bacula-Web somewhere other than /var/www/bacula-web, you'll need to adapt your setup.
