for incompatibility installation problems, I've decided to reinstall Centos 6.3
as can be seem from the df output, I've partitioned both / and and /home directories
[oracle@localhost ~]$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda8 12G 5.3G 6.5G 45% /
tmpfs 3.8G 1.2M 3.8G 1% /dev/shm
/dev/sda6 190M 144M 37M 80% /boot
/dev/sda12 178G 112G 57G 67% /home
/dev/sda9 4.0G 408M 3.4G 11% /tmp
/dev/sda13 18G 4.2G 13G 25% /u01
/dev/sda10 4.0G 1.7G 2.1G 46% /u02
/dev/sda11 5.0G 693M 4.0G 15% /u03
any reinstall will not remove /home directories provided correct reinstall options are provided
upon reinstall when I login as phpmy and make a directory, I encountered the following error.
[phpmy@localhost ~]$ mkdir -p /home/phpmy/html
mkdir: cannot create directory `/home/phpmy/html': Permission denied
[phpmy@localhost ~]$
here's my directory details
[root@localhost ~]# ls -dalh /
drwxr-xr-x. 30 root root 4.0K Apr 30 22:23 /
[root@localhost ~]# ls -dalh /home
drwxr-xr-x. 10 root root 4.0K Apr 30 23:55 /home
[root@localhost ~]# ls -dalh /home/phpmy/
drwxr-xr-x. 9 504 504 4.0K Apr 27 23:53 /home/phpmy/
[root@localhost ~]# ls -dalh /home/oracle
drwx------. 65 oracle oracle 4.0K Apr 30 23:30 /home/oracle
so what should I do to resolve the above issue?
thanks a lot!
