How to enable my Apache module with root access?
Dear Apache developers,
I have developped an Axis2C Soap service and successfully deployed in Axis2C
simple http server. But when I deployed my service in Apache web server
2.2, my service is not functioning properly. The reason is because my
service needs to call some in-house library that requires root access yet
Apache does not allow root access, therefore my service does not function
properly.
Is there any way I can load mod_axis2c.so in root? Or anyway I can get
around it?
Please help.
Thanks,
Ellen

Hi,
Yes, you are right. It seems that Apace doesn't allow running with root
access. There is another directive called LoadFile. You can specify the
other libraries that require root access in the LoadFile directive. I'm not
sure weather this will work. But please give it a try.

Hi Supun,
I tried to run Apache as "root", but Apache exit out right away with a
prompt "Please rebuild httpd.exe compile with -D BIG_SECURITY_HOLE...". I
guess Apache doesn't allow to run as root.
What else can I do?
Thanks,
Ellen

Hi,
AFAIK the only way to load the mod_axis2.so as root is to run Apache as the
root. There is a directive in the httpd.conf specifying the user under which
Apache runs. The directive is "user". Please change the value to root and
give it a try.

Hi,
If your running Apache on Linux try to add apache user to root users group.
In debian based distros you can try to add Apache user to group that have
sudo access. But it's not recommended to run Apache with root privileges.
Thanks

This does not sound right. If you need to run apache as root that is a hint
for you to think again about your design.
