Actually ignore this post. What had happened was that I had the proper permissions on the folder, but when I dragged the files over from the rar archive, I guess it extracted them to the temp folder, and then moved them to the current folder, which didn't set the proper permissions. Once I told it to reapply the permissions, setting just read/execute on that folder for that user worked.Ruslan Sivak wrote:I just upgraded from Apache 2.2.0 to 2.2.6 using the binaries from apachelounge.com. After I put in the new binaries (keeping my config), it refused to start up due to a security failure (no futher information was in the logs). After running Process Monitor, it looks like it was failing at the following place:Desired Access: Read Data/List Directory, Execute/Traverse, Read Desired Access: Execute/Traverse, SynchronizeApache runs under the limited user "apache" and has read only access to the bin directory. Why is it trying to CreateFile there?

Apache needs to be ableto /see/ it's own files, and your permissions don't allow it. It needs to load .dll's - so it needs execute access to the contents of bin/ and /modules and traverse/read directory access throughout the filesystem to the programand to the files that you will serve. E.g. your parent directory can't be traverse/no read, because if it can't see the attributes or files, it can't decide if you had really intended to serve Progra~1/... or Program Files/...
