How to set folder user:group on archlinux makes node could create file

Question

on archlinux, we have a folder called /srv which belongs to http:users. In my nodejs code I want to create new file /srv/my_test/1.log but result is Permission Denied.

After I changed /srv/my_test from http:users to my_username:users, it worked.

So what's the right way of setting folder permission when my nodejs code need create file on the server?

Answer 1

When you make /srv chowned by http:users, check folder permissions are 775 and be sure your user is a member of the users group.

This way:

$ chown http:users /srv
$ chmod 775 /srv
