Can't write in a folder with permissions

Question

I'm trying to configure my local server htdocs folder to write in it without root powers, but without the ugly way of chmod 777. I created a new group, I set it to the folder, I changed the permissions to 775 and I add my user to this new group. This is the result:

$ ls -ld .
drwxrwxr-x 4 nobody htdocs 4096 ago 27  2009 .
$ id asbel
uid=1000(asbel) gid=1000(asbel) grups=1000(asbel),4(adm),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),46(plugdev),109(lpadmin),124(sambashare),1002(htdocs)
$ touch test
touch: no s’han pogut canviar les dates de «test»: S’ha denegat el permís

The answer of the last command says that I don't have permissions to write here.

What is wrong here? Also, I want that when I create new folders they have same group permissions since I want that other users of the group could modify them. Is it correct?

Answer 1

For the new group to take effect, you must log out and log in again (opening a new shell is not sufficient)
