whats the equivalent command of this (Fedora command) for Ubuntu:

chmod +a "www-data allow delete,write,append,file_inherit,directory_inherit" app/cache app/logs

When I try the above with Ubuntu (10.0.4 LTS), I get the error message:

chmod: invalid mode: `+a'

Try `chmod --help' for more information.

chmod uses a series of numeric entries to set file permissions rather than strings. The ubuntu version of the command given would be

chmod 0755 app/cache app/logs

This should work assuming www-data is the owner. If not,

chown www-data.www-data app/cache app/logs

will change it so www-data owns the directories.
