First I'm a NEWBIE - I'm using a Bitnami stack to deploy a Rails app.

Bitnami has the rails applications in /opt/bitnami/projects.

I created a group called deployers. My login is bitnami. So, I added bitnami to deployers (I'm the only developer right now).

So,

groups bitnami = bitnami : bitnami adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev admin deployers

Then I ran these commands:

sudo chown -R root:deployers projects

sudo chmod -R 0766 projects

I thought those commands would give bitnami in group deployers the read/write access I need.

But, now I can't even cd projects. I get bash: cd: projects: Permission denied.

The permissions on the projects directory look like this:

projects Directory drwxrw-rw- root deployers

How do I fix it?

You can't cd projects because you must have execute permission on a directoryto do so. Run this to set the permissions:

sudo find projects -type f -exec chmod -R 664 {} ;

sudo find projects -type d -exec chmod -R 775 {} ;

The first applies read and write permissions to files and the second applies read, write and execute permission to directories.
