Code:
chmod -R=+0666 /home/dj/files
What I am trying to do is execute a command that will recursively chmod 666 all files and folders at a location.

It fails and I'm not sure why? Is there something obvious i am missing? Its Apache on Linux

Well then The Dead Pool is for you!
 
try this:

Code:
chmod -R 666 /home/dj/files

The will give everybody read and write permissions whithin that dir.
 
I just need to work on my spelling now but this isn't the forum for that. ;-)
