Have you tried setting the umask in your apache startup script? I'm running on Sun Solaris and I've used ACL's to get the permissions I want. Dan Please respond to users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx cc: (bcc: Dan Mitton/YD/RWDOE) Subject: Permissions dilemma in the /var/log/httpd directory LSN: Not Relevant User Filed as: Not a Record Hi, Here is my dilemma and I'd appreciate some help. Apache has been configured and is running fine. But other users need read permissions to the /var/log/httpd directory. Before I implemented cronolog (www.cronolog.org), I forced a permissions change to 755 in the startup script for the /var/log/httpd directory. After I implemented cronolog this does not work, since cronolog automatically changes permissions to 400. Is there a way to force permissions to 644 at least in the httpd.conf file and keep it that way even after cronolog rotates logs. I could implement chmod -R 755 /var/log/httpd via cron at midnight, but this is a crude way of doing thing. I hope there is a better, elegant way, via Apache. I again appreciate any inputs to this. thanks # mukarram syed Mukarram Syed muksyed@xxxxxxxxx Fussy? Opinionated? Impossible to please? Perfect.
