[users@httpd] safe .htaccess permissions
hi, i'm setting up a shared www server under debian with apache2.0 . In
order to make it secure, i use suExec and all users' files are chmoded
to 770. but i must keep .htaccess and passwords files chmoded as 774.
otherwise, apache gives forbidden error and logs say:
pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable
is there any ways to have .htaccess chmoded as 770?
what user is "pcfg_openfile" running under?

I've solved .htaccess problem by adding www-data user to virtualuser_1
group.
However, i'm having another problem now.
I've disabled global error log. my virtual hosts contain line:
"ErrorLog /full/path/to/error_log"
however, all errors are logged into /etc/apache2/logs/error_log . What's
wrong with my config?

There is no userid pcfg_openfile -- thats a standard error. I would
suggest you change those files to be owned by the sam ID as your WWW
server; you can see who this is by using:
lsof -i tcp:80
chown them that id with root as group then chmod them to 0440 --
should make them secure enough. if there is such as thing as secure
enough.
