I'm at my wits end trying to get bindfs to work. I want to use /var/www/html for my web sites but because of permissions issue I decided to use bindfs. So I typed.
ls -l /var/www
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 May 26 09:20 html
I made directories as follows with owner joe.
/home/joe/websites/thermos
I then tried this:
sudo bindfs -o create-with-perms=0770, force-group=joe, force-user=joe, create-for-user=www-data,create-for-group=www-data /var/www/html/thermos /home/joe/websites/thermos
The error I got is:
Failed to resolve source directory `force-group=joe,': No such file or directory
I've googled for a similar error but could not find any. I'm really puzzled at what I'm doing wrong. Tried bindfs with and without sudo but got same error. I did not try the fstab method, just wanted to keep things simple. Thanks in advance for any help.
