Messier with permissions if you want to edit HTML without becoming root all the time. Also not so convenient for editing even with permissions set up OK as it's not in your home directory.This is what groups were invented for.
Yes, and what group do you use? I couldn't come up with any sensible group to make things work as I wanted, apache/httpd runs as 'nobody' which makes things a little difficult.
I thought everything sane was using www-data/www-data for webservers these days and trying to limit the number of things running as user nobody. What distro are you using?
I was using slackware (where httpd is nobody), it turns out that on Fedora 7 where I am now httpd is run as user apache.
I see no www-data anywhere! :-)
