New Rails sass user having problems with permissions

Have never used sass before.

On my production server having to switch chmod 644 public/* then run /etc/init.d/apache2 restart to restart the server.

Once server has rendered the css, I then have to come back and run chmod 755 public/* to actually load the css, js and images.

If 755 has higher creds, why does it fail? actual error is:

Errno::EACCES (Permission denied - /srv开发者_C百科/www/mysite.com/myapp/public/stylesheets/custom.css):

Use this Command : chmod 766 -Rf public/. it might be work for you

I know you already got your answer, but if you want to know more of the theory behind it, check this out:

It's pretty straight-forward... I think it's definitely worth glancing at.

Also, in case you don't already know, the -f option only told chmod to not display a diagnostic message if it couldn't modify the file, so it wasn't totally necessary (though it could be helpful). The -R switch changed the modes of the file hierarchies rooted in the files rather than the files themselves.
