I have a linux nfs share that is mounted on my solaris webserver. The problem is being to write (rw) to the share on the UNIX side. also the UID/GID are different for this filesystem on the UNIX side. it shows the UID as 500 and the GID as adm; although on the linux the UID/GID display correctly. In addition, on the NFS server side i have share the filesystem in /etc/exports as /filesystem 10.0.0.x(rw), 2. exportfs -ra; restarted the nfs services. Afterwards I have restarted the apache server. still I am unable to write to the filesystem on the UNIX side. I have even chmod -R 755 /filesystem.

Thanks,
Travis
 
you could try replacing ,in the /etc/exports file,
10.0.0.x with 10.0.0.*
linux supports wildcards while some flavours of unix do not.
the 755 permissions will only allow the owner to modify the file or directory.

UID's and GID's are displayed by number unless there is a corresponding entry in /etc/passwd or /etc/group
