    Hi Steve,
    Thank you for your advice I hope you can help me a
    little more. I know as a regular user (not root) I
    don't have access privilege to /etc/httpd/logs. But I
    don't understand why because logs directory seems to
    have been setup to give all access level to public, as
    I gather from the following:

    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Nov 15
    2003 logs -> ../../var/log/httpd

    And also, I am hesitant to change the ownership of
    this directory to that of the user because then the
    root will not be able to use it. How can I set this
    up so that as a user I can use it? Please let me
    stress that when I have <Directory "/var/www/html/">
    and "DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/" in httpd.conf
    everything is cool.

    I really thank you for any other advice. I am hoping
    to install "mambo" content manager under my user
    account but I need to understand what type of
    privileges I have as a user.

    Thanks

    As a user I don't have access to logs directory under
    httpd. I know I can change the ownership of that
    directory to the user but I have feeling that is not
    the right thing to do. Also, that directory has been
    configured to give all levels of access
    (read/write/execute) to all. What is the best thing
    to do, should I change the ownership of logs
    directory?
