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? --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
