Changed permissions on Alfresco Folder, not working anymore

[tbendubois]

Hello Community.
I have set up an alfresco share server for a business, and I set up a network drive for everyone on the alfresco webdav client. Everything was going ok until yesterday, now they are getting error 80070780 when trying to copy a file over webdav and so I looked at the permissions and chmodded the /opt to 755 and restarted. Now Postgresql is complaining that the user who owns the directory must start it, but root owns the dir and root cannot start it. What are the default permissions for the /opt, and is there any way to get the postgresql working again?

Current version of Alfresco
Ubuntu 12.04 server

Hi,

first you should be aware that the filesystem permissions on the server have *nothing* to do with the permissions clients see on exported filesystems (they are managed by Alfresco itself). But i suppose you have just learned that the hard way  :?

Fixing the for PostgreSQK permissions very much depends on how and where PostgreSQL is installed - e.g. on my CentOS systems, all data files live in "/var/lib/pgsql/9.1/data/"
and are owned by postgresostgres, but this may be different on Ubuntu….

[root@borg215 ~]# ls -l /var/lib/pgsql/9.1/data/

I was able to fix everything with a fresh install, and have learned my lesson as you mentioned Thanks!
