Files and directories or folders have permission sets for the owner of the file along with the group associated with that file and all other users of that system. But these permission sets have some limitations. For example, different permissions cannot be configured for different users. Thus, Access Control Lists (ACLs) were implemented.</div>

ACLs can be configured as follows<br /></div>
<ul style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Lato, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin: 0px 0px 15px 30px; padding: 0px;">

<li style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style: disc;">For users not in the user group for the file</li>

ACL  provides an additional flexible permission mechanism for file system on a Linux system. It enhance the traditional <a href="http://www.hackthesec.co.in/search/label/Unix" target="_blank">UNIX </a>file permissions for files & folder. With ACL, you can give permissions for any user or any group with fine-grained access rights.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Lato, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.9em; text-align: justify;">
ACLs can be configured per user, per group or via the effective rights mask. These permissions then can be apply to an individual user or a group, and also you can use the same as rwx (Read, Write, Execute) found in regular file / folder permissions.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Lato, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.8em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.9em; text-align: justify;">
ACLs requires kernel support and your kernel musk support <a href="http://www.hackthesec.co.in/search/label/ACL_Permission" target="_blank">ACL </a>in order to implement ACL on your Linux distribution. Along with support in the kernel, the acl package is also required to implement ACLs. Acl package contains the utilities used to add, modify, remove, and retrieve ACL information from a file / folder.</div>

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Why CentOS Linux?</span></h2>
<h1 class="entry-title" itemprop="headline" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Oswald, Lato, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; line-height: 50px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px;">

CentOS Linux is a community-supported distribution derived from sources freely provided to the public by Red Hat for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (<a href="http://www.hackthesec.co.in/search/label/RHEL" target="_blank">RHEL</a>). As such, CentOS Linux aims to be functionally compatible with <a href="http://www.hackthesec.co.in/search/label/Rhel7" target="_blank">RHEL</a>. The <a href="http://www.hackthesec.co.in/search/label/Centos" target="_blank">CentOS </a>Project mainly changes packages to remove upstream vendor branding and artwork. CentOS Linux is no-cost and free to redistribute. Each CentOS version is maintained for up to 10 years (by means of security updates — the duration of the support interval by Red Hat has varied over time with respect to Sources released). A new CentOS version is released approximately every 2 years and each CentOS version is periodically updated (roughly every 6 months) to support newer hardware. This results in a secure, low-maintenance, reliable, predictable and reproducible Linux environment.</div>

<h1 class="entry-title" itemprop="headline" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Oswald, Lato, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; line-height: 50px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px;">

First, switch to root user. This is not required if your current local user have sudo privileges. This is only for this tutorial. Do not practise this for regular system administration.</div>

To know whether your kernel supports ACL or not, type the following command in a terminal.</div>
<pre style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(60, 60, 60); border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(229, 229, 229); line-height: 19.2px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 20px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="line-height: 15.6px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: white;">[root@hackthesec]#</span><span style="color: lime;"> cat /boot/config-4.1.6-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64 | grep _ACL

<span style="line-height: 28.8px;">After issuing the above command, you will see something like this which indicates that your kernel has the support for ACL.</span></div>

First of all, we'll need to edit our php configuration ie /etc/php.ini and uncomment a line <strong>cgi.fix_pathinfo=1</strong> using a text editor.</div>

After its done, we'll need to change the ownership of PHP-FPM process from apache to lightpd. To do so, we'll need to open the configuration file /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf using a text editor.</div>

In order to see if PHP is working as expected or not, we'll need to create a new php file under the webroot of our lighttpd web server. Here, in this tutorial we have /var/www/html in Ubuntu and /srv/www/htdocs in CentOS as the default webroot so, we'll create a info.php file under it using a text editor.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; word-break: break-word;">
<strong><span style="color: #0b5394;">On CentOS 7</span></strong></div>
<div>
<pre style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(60, 60, 60); border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(229, 229, 229); margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 20px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 15.6px;"># nano  /var/www/info.php</span></span></pre>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; word-break: break-word;">
<strong><span style="color: #0b5394;">On Ubuntu 15.04</span></strong></div>
<div>
<pre style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(60, 60, 60); border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(229, 229, 229); margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 20px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 15.6px;"><span style="color: white;"># nano /srv/www/htdocs/</span><span style="color: lime;">info</span><span style="color: white;">.php</span></span></span></pre>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; word-break: break-word;">
Then, we'll simply add the following line into the file.</div>
<div>
<pre style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(60, 60, 60); border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(229, 229, 229); margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 20px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="line-height: 15.6px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: white;"><?php </span><span style="color: lime;">phpinfo</span><span style="color: white;">(); ?></span></span></span></pre>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; word-break: break-word;">
Once done, we'll simply save the file and exit from the text editor.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; word-break: break-word;">
Now, we'll open our running lighttpd using its ip address or domain name with the <b>info.php</b> file path as http://lighttpd.hackthesec.co.in/info.php. after that you can see the <b>phpinfo </b>page</div>
