hi list,i installed apache on centos 5 and i have some questions regarding security for apache. i read security tips on http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/misc/security_tips.html and get the idea, but still need some advices from guru here.
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: ServerRoot "/etc/httpd" User apache Group apache DocumentRoot "/var/www/html" as of now, /var/www/html/ belongs to root user & group.but i have couple developers here that need to upload files to this folder that i don't want to give out the root password. what should i change /var/www/html/ folder to?
i also have a SSI folder (/var/www/html/includes) that i don't want any web user to have access to because these includes files contain user/password to mysql.
for example, at the beginning of /var/www/html/index.php, i have:
<?
include_once('/var/www/html/includes/global.php');
include_once('/var/www/html/includes/connect.php');
?>
i try to prevent web user doing this:
wget http://10.0.0.120/includes/global.php
but at the same time allow apache server to access files in
/var/www/html/inclues/ folder.
any idea/suggestion. thank you, t. hiep --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
