Hopefully your php is not public or you have been pown'd by now. NEVER, EVER, EVER RUN ANYTHING THAT FACES PUBLIC AS ROOT. Now, can you change all of your apache/mysql/php directories to another user, such as nobody so that access to your system is severely restricted? If you CANNOT do this, at least use a user with no privileges and a restricted user group. Also, look at the permissions for your /temp or /tmp directory. It should be world read/execute for any user (rwxr-xr-s) with the file sticky bit set (if my memory serves me correctly) that makes any file created writable by the user that created it without directory ownership. Someone will step in if I'm incorrect. The first and foremost thing is to correct the security situation you are in, if the system is public. If it is private, you still have to get everything working for a user other than root. root should ONLY be used for testing and to do things for your system that cannot be done any other way. BTW, Posix compliant programs will let non-root users access ports < 1024. I also recommend deleting the .wine directory under /root and starting over with the user that you are going to use for php. Any other way may lead to problems. James McKenzie
