Re: I get a 500 error and this was caused because the php file "was writable in group"

My host runs Linux.

Not sure exactly how the file got a group writable setting, but I am curious
as to why this caused Apache to throw up over it.
    

Maybe you're using suexec or something similar?  What's the exact error message?
  

I tried to duplicate the problem by setting the file attributes to group writable (and readable) but the problem did not reoccur.

I suspect my host changed something.

The original response on the support ticker was to make the file group readable only.

I recall the error was in the error log, and the page apache sent was not useful. Just the 500 "internal server error"

The issue is gone. Just hoped to learn something.

Thanks
