You can su to the web user (e.g. apache, nobody, www-data, whatever)
and use sandweb-admin..

Is this the 1.0RC4 release or a development release from our CVS tree
that you are using? I thought sandweb-admin was supposed to chown the
directory for you, if it was run by root.. I'll look into that.



Thanks,
