[users@httpd] Weird Apache Problem
Hi!
We recently installed Apache on a webserver using the Apache Toolbox. When
users try to run some cgi scripts, they get errors. Looking at the files that
are created when this happens, we see that new files are written with
ownership of nobody.nobody (this makes sense), but with permissions written
as "-r--r--r--". Of course, this means that anyone can read the file, but no
one (not even nobody) can write to the file. Is this a permission problem in
Apache? If so, can someone point me in the right direction? Not sure where to
look on this one.
Regards,
Scott

It is helpful, when you say that something gets errors, to mention what
those errors are. That would go a long way towards helping you. Remember
that the errors from the error log, not the browser, are what is useful.

Are you refering to files that are created by your CGI program? If so,
then the permissions on that file will depend on the umask of the
directory in question, not on Apache or other considerations. So, no,
this is not a permission problem in Apache, but in your file system. You
can either change the umask on the directory, or you can, in your cgi
program, explicitly change the permissions on the file after you create
it.
