Last week I installed all patches for raq3. I rebooted the system and everything was fine.
Last night I added 13 new domains to the server. still everything is O.K.
Today I tried to upload a file to web dir and I got 505 permission denied message.
I tried to upload to other domains and I got same 505 error.
when I conected using telenet I find out that all my web dir have "nobody" permission. I had
to manually change all the permissions for web dir to "777"
Now when I try to create another account I end up having same problem.
What could be wrong? How can I fix this.

Thanks in advance

"nobody" is not a permission, it's an ownership. The /home/sites/siteXX/web folder should have an ownership of nobody. The files inside that should have onwerships based on the person who uploaded them (or "nobody" if they were published with FrontPage on a RaQ4).

How are you attempting to upload files? As admin? Sometimes admin can't upload files (because of a rule that admin can only be part of a certain number of virtual sites).

I tried to upload using cute FTP as admin. why did it work before and not now?
