If it is a CGI application, then I would have thought that it matters only that the browser can see the file in question, not Apache. I think you need to explain what you are trying to do just a little more. > I have tried using suexec but docs seem a little sparce. This what I have suexec carries a lot of security implications. We do a number of setuid scripts where a CGI script really needs broader permissions than the Apache user has. These also have security implications, but at least we didn't move the whole mountain first. - The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
