Thanks.

Have you tried setting the umask in your apache startup script? I'm

directory

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
