Who have to be the owner of vmfiles folder?

[borro]

Hello!

All files of my site(J3.4.1+VM3.0.9) have the user1 in the role of owner. The owner of vmfiles folder which is placed one level higher is "root". Permissions on folder are 777. In admin panel I see error:

vmError: The path for invoices seems to miss the correct file permissions Safe Path \var\www\some_name\data\www\vmfiles\

Should I only to change the owner of vmfiles folder on user1 to fix that problem?

[AH]

the owner of the vmfiles folder should be the same owner as the public_html folder

[borro]

the owner of the vmfiles folder should be the same owner as the public_html folder

Will 755 permissions enough for that folder? What is the minimal safe permission settings for that folder? I assigned the right owner and setted 777 permission level, I cleared the cache but still have this message. What can it be?

[AH]

same owner and group as the public.html

permissions 755

[borro]

same owner and group as the public.html
permissions 755

Hello!

It seems that problem was in slash slop. The safe path was like:
\var\www\antilopa\data\www\vmfiles/
When I changed it to:
/var/www/antilopa/data/www/vmfiles/
the error message has gone

What was that?
