    Hi,
    I accidentally removed public folder in /home/nginx/domains.com/ . So, I make a new directory with mkdir command. However, the new public folder permission is different from the other folder, it has drwxr-sr-x while the other has drwxr-s---.

    When I try to change the permission manually with the following command
    Code:
    chmod 740 /home/nginx/domains/domain.com/public/
    It changes to drwsr-S--- with big/capitalize S not small s.

    Can anyone tell me how to properly chmod it?

    Nginx 1.27.x
    MariaDB 10.x/11.4+
    should fix it
    Code (Text):
    chmod 750 /home/nginx/domains/domain.com/public
chown nginx:nginx /home/nginx/domains/domain.com/public

    compressed file or extracted folders ?

    use ls and stat commands to show us what you have i.e. for public directory and a file at public/file.txt
    Code (Text):
    ls -lah /home/nginx/domains/domain.com
ls -lah /home/nginx/domains/domain.com/public
stat /home/nginx/domains/domain.com/public
stat /home/nginx/domains/domain.com/public/file.txt

    Might want to use CODE tags for code How to use forum BBCODE code tags :)

    FYI normal permissions are 644 for files and 755 for directories or if you app/setup can handle 640 files and 750 directories

    files should be 644 or 640 and directories 755 or 750
    Code (Text):
    find /home/nginx/domains/domain.com/public/ -type d -exec chmod -R 755 {} \;
find /home/nginx/domains/domain.com/public/ -type f -exec chmod -R 644 {} \;

    or
    Code (Text):
    find /home/nginx/domains/domain.com/public/ -type d -exec chmod -R 750 {} \;
find /home/nginx/domains/domain.com/public/ -type f -exec chmod -R 640 {} \;

    this finds all directories and chmod to 755 or 750 and all files found chmod to 644 or 640

    Backup First !



    backup permissions first before running above commands so you can restore if you stuff up

    backup all directory and file permissions inclusive and under public to file at /home/nginx/domains/domain.com/backup_perm/public-dir-permission-backup.acl
    Code (Text):
    mkdir /home/nginx/domains/domain.com/backup_perm
cd /home/nginx/domains/domain.com/backup_perm
getfacl -R --absolute-names /home/nginx/domains/domain.com/public > /home/nginx/domains/domain.com/backup_perm/public-dir-permission-backup.acl

    restore all directory and file permissions saved at /home/nginx/domains/domain.com/backup_perm/public-dir-permission-backup.acl
    Code (Text):
    setfacl --restore=/home/nginx/domains/domain.com/backup_perm/public-dir-permission-backup.acl

    bash: getfacl: command not found
    Should I install first? my VPS is Centos 6
    Code:
    yum install acl

    Code:
    find /home/nginx/domains/domain.com/public/ -type f -exec chmod -R 644 {} \;
    Went ok,

    Code:
    -rw-r--r--  1 nginx nginx     5032 Jul  4 15:36 wp-activate.php
drwxr-sr-x  9 nginx nginx     4096 Jul  5 10:15 wp-admin
    But,
    Code:
    find /home/nginx/domains/domain.com/public/ -type d -exec chmod -R 755 {} \;
    is not good.
    Code:
    -rwxr-xr-x  1 nginx nginx     5032 Jul  4 15:36 wp-activate.php
drwxr-sr-x  9 nginx nginx     4096 Jul  5 10:15 wp-admin

    yup
    should of worked - did you run getfacl and setfacl after the chmod ? setfacl would of restored your old incorrect permissions so only need to run setfacl restore if you want to revert those permissions to ones prior to find/chmod
