/dev/md3        /var    ext4    defaults

-rw-rw-rw-. 1 apache apache 14K Sep 28  2015 /media/thumbs/embedded/1664949.jpg

Does any one know how to fix this??

GNU 'ls' uses a '.' character to indicate a file with an SELinux security context, but no other alternate access method.

Your system has SELinux installed and enabled, there really isn't anything you need to do.

getenforce Disabled and cat /etc/selinux/ = SELINUX=permissive

SELinux really isn't causing your problem you will need to look elsewhere.

SeLinux is disabled and even if I re-chcon it's the same

Found the answer here https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/79395/how-does-the-sticky-bit-work

But it didn't solve my issue about why lighttpd can't access same files and apache can't

But that might be another thread

    The question you asked, and the answer you link to are entirely unrelated. It's time for you to step away from the computer and find another career, you're not suited to this one.

  • I believe both are wrong: - @Iain this answer is not from the same user from the question - user355906 I believe you answer the wrong question. I believe you wanted serverfault.com/questions/778438/… So, I guess it's time for both of you wake up from the keyboard, relax and comback with your glassess :)

  • The question was about the dot after file permission -rw-rw-rw-. and that was answered in the link i posted answer #1 Other users started to talk about SeLinux which had nothing to do with the question
