Note to self: 775 = rwxrwxr-x
Have you made sure that the entire path to the file enables webx members to
write?
Let us assume:
/home/user/path/file_you_want_to_vi
Try:
chmod 775 -R /home/user/path/
or
chmod 775 -R /home/user
Also to consider:
chown webx file_you_want_to_vi
* Descend one level at the time, getting more distant from
file_you_want_to_vi
o Make sure group ownership is okay
o Make sure permissions are sufficiently lenient.
Hope it helps,
Roy
