Yikes! I’m running as the SYSTEM
account according to a little program I wrote that prints out System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name
using the cli. This looks like a security threat. Can I change this so the web
server is running in a less privledged account? Sieg From: Siegfried
Heintze [mailto:info@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Why cannot I not just run the cygwin cron
jobs under the same account as Apache httpd is using? That ought to fix the
problem. Can someone tell me where in the httpd.conf file I specify the account
that Apache httpd uses? I thought I saw it in there once. If it is not specified there, what is the
account that the web server is running under? Sieg From: Garry Taylor -----Original Message----- Sorry

Subject:
Populating Microsoft MDB file and simultaneously querying it I
have some cygwin cron jobs populating a Microsoft Access database while users
are trying to simultaneouly query the database via C#/httpd. I
think my problem is that the cygwin cron jobs are running in the Administrator
account and they create a .mdl file (the lock) under the administrator account
and then, while httpd can open the .mdb file (because I put an access control
list on it), httpd cannot open the mdl file (because the cron job just created
it with the Administrator account). What
account should my cron jobs be running in to be compatible with with httpd? I
think they could all access the database fine if they were all running in the
same account? Thanks, Siegfried I think your stuffed. You could get the
script to make a copy of the database and put all the new record into that one.
Then copy the file over replacing the old one. You may have you restart Apache with
graceful after this, if it changes anything. Adding records should be ok. Giz |
