[snip] I did "su - apache" to switch to the same user under which the Apache server is running and tried the "ls -ld /" under bash, and it worked fine. Thus the server's has all the permissions to read the root directory. Yet PHP does not seam to have these permissions. [/snip]
Good work Sparky, you answered your own question.
Who does PHP run as? Does it really run as Apache?
Since PHP runs under Apache, I assume it runs under the apache user. But if I am wrong, please advise.
For the other readers, sorry for submitting twice my email to the list. I had a problem with my mailer...
