This is not a problem of your permissions but of the owner of the files then, in linux the three parts for the permission system are for Owner - Group - World in a standard server setup the apache or whatever server serves your pages should be in the group, this can be www-data or www-server or similar. you can check which group by typing in $|ps aux | grep apache Hi Daniel :

I appreciate the response, however - I do not believe that permissions should be permanently changed from the original nor do I feel that it is appropriate to change ownership of the site on that server. A simple fix is to use ssh to reset the permissions until I have a better handle on how drush works. thanks -- Tim tim at tee jay forty nine dot com or akwebsoft dot com http://www.akwebsoft.com
