Please explain how the specific user Apache is running as is relevant. Is it only an indicator of the distribution the example is based on? If so, are you saying that distributions without SELinux support cannot securely allow Apache to write files within DocumentRoot? > besides that there a *two* levels to care: FS-permissions *and* SELinux > > chown apache:apache /path/to/folder/ > chmod 770 /path/to/folder/ > > http://david-latham.blogspot.co.at/2008/08/allow-httpd-apache-to-write-to-files.html Are you saying to allow Apache write access, but to use SELinux to limit the directories and files it can update? That sounds reasonable to me, but I get the impression that Tim had something else in mind from his very specific statement: You should NOT change ownership of /var/www/http to Apache, never do that. That's a VERY BAD THING!!!!!!
