change directory owner and permission

[jimmy zhu]

Hi Experts,

I log as root and create a directory for oracle in Linux redhat 5.
my steps as
1)
root user cd to
/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
2)
mkdir data
cd data
mkdir EXPORTS
3)chown -R oracle:oinstall /data/EXPORTS
or chmod g+rw /data/EXPORTS

chmod ugo+rwx /data/EXPORTS

4) log by oracle and check permission ls -l

as
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jul 17 10:18 data

How do I chang owner and full persion to oracle ?

Thanks
jimmy

Welcome to forums!

chown -R oracle:oinstall /data/EXPORTS

This will chown /data/EXPORTS

NB! it will do it in root of your computer, not in directory you are in! And it will not chown /data.

After your step 1 do:

chown -R oracle:oinstall data

Or with absolute path from anywhere:

chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/data
