Jail write access via CIFS

[ngen33r]

I am playing around with learning more about Jails and how to use and configure them. I am still noob at this point. I added a 20GB drive to my NAS and set it up with a Jail. I was working through a tutorial to install APACHE 2.4 and all the associated goodies. I was able to search out most of my questions but when I got to the point of editing the httpd.conf I get a permission error. I can access the share and create files on it but I cannot get access to any of the files that were created in the Jail from the shell. I assume it is a user/permission problem.

What I have tried:
Logging in as root from Windows
CHMOD -R 777 to the file and folder
Adding user and UID to the Jail that match the NAS

I am sure it is something simple that I am missing and I am still learning. I choose a separate drive to play on so I can delete the Jail and start over easily without fear of breaking anything else.

SSH into FreeNAS box
'jls'
'jexec <idOfJail> tcsh'

'ee /path/to/httpd.conf'

do not share out your jail through CIFS and muck with the permissions. set up your server the right way.

Thank You added to my notes "DO NOT SHARE JAILS...You will f$%k up the permissions" When I want to play and add some files to Apache what is the best way to send them there. Add storage to the Jail or put a FTP server into the jail?

Adding storage to the jail would be the best way.

If you will be changing files a lot you can add storage.

If it's only every so often, I would setup ssh in the jail and use sftp
