"chown Nobody" For Dotproject

[joseph]

I am installing dotProject and its readme recommends doing the following to enable file uploads:

>chown -R apache files/
chmod -R 0700 files/

 

chmod I can do on my own via FTP, but not chown. I really would like to avoid o+rwx or 0707. How should I go about changing ownership of the directory and what user, apache or nobody, should I chown my upload directory to?

 

Also, what would you recommend I do about this one warning from the dotProject system check?

session.use_trans_sid = 1

There are security risks with this turned on

Not sure if you'd be able to get this done on a regular hosting account. I'll leave this open though just incase anybody else has an opinion or an answer for ya.
