SSH command question about the application directory within webapps

You can generally reset permissions of all files and directories recursively from the current directory using these commands:

# First, navigate to the directory to reset
cd ~/webapps/mysameappdirectory

# Reset all directories to 755 and all regular files to 644
chmod -R 0755 .
chmod -R g-s .
chmod -R u-s .
chmod -R -t .
setfacl -R -b .
find . -type f -exec chmod 0644 "{}" \;

Blindly resetting permissions can be dangerous. If your application has a "start" script, for example, you probably want that to be executable ("755" permissions), so you'll need to then set executable permissions ("chmod a+x /path/to/file") on such files.

If you get a bunch of errors that look like this:

chmod: operation not permitted

Then that means the files you're changing are probably owned by one of your SSH users instead of the main account user. You can open a support ticket and we can chown the files back to your main user.

Hope that helps!
