“Recursive” implies that the operation will be performed for all files and directories (and all files and directories within any directory). So chown -R foo /some/path would change file owner to foo for all files and directories in /some/path p.s. You might have even seen the dictionary entry for recursive: recursive, n: See recursive
Use chown to change ownership and chmod to change rights. use the -R option to apply the rights for all files inside of a directory too. Note that both these commands just work for directories too. The -R option makes them also change the permissions for all files and directories inside of the directory. For … Read more
Ensure that user account running mongod has the proper directory permissions. You can check which permissions are set like so: ls -ld /data/db/ If they are set properly they should look something like this.. drwxr-xr-x X user wheel XXX Date Time /data/db/ If the permissions are set incorrectly you will likely see an error similar … Read more

This should work just fine: # sudo mkdir /usr/local/var/postgres # sudo chmod 775 /usr/local/var/postgres # sudo chown construct /usr/local/var/postgres # initdb /usr/local/var/postgres use your username in place of construct. So, if your computer username is WDurant, the code will be: # sudo chown $(whoami) /usr/local/var/postgres

You can change the permissions to your user account, or whatever you have mongo running as. chown -R username /data/db or /data You can also set a group chown -R username.groupname The -R does it recursively, so it will affect all the files you’ve created … Read more
The dirs and files lists are all always relative to root – i.e., they are the basename() of the files/folders, i.e. they don’t have a / in them (or \ on windows). You need to join the dirs/files to root to get their whole path if you want your code to work to infinite levels … Read more

Try using just the owner if no group. sudo chown -R user: /usr/local/var/log/couchdb
import pwd import grp import os uid = pwd.getpwnam(“nobody”).pw_uid gid = grp.getgrnam(“nogroup”).gr_gid path=”/tmp/f.txt” os.chown(path, uid, gid)
