Hello! I've got two questions concerning Apache: 1: Why isn't my httpd run as a daemon? When I send the root process the kill signal (like so: kill PID), it doesn't restart itself. It just plain old dies. The command I use to start it up at boot time is: /usr/local/sbin/httpd This line is in my /etc/rc.local , as you might have already guessed. No flags, no nothing... 2. Why is it that my CGI-script must have system-wide permissions to be executed? The same applies to all the files in the web document root. I tried changing groups to "nobody", the group for most of my httpd's, and setting system-wide right to null and nothing, which only meant they weren't read at all. Here's what I mean: drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 7 Feb 17:24 cgi-bin drwxr-xr-x 4 root staff 512 8 Feb 00:17 data drwxr-xr-x 3 root staff 2048 7 Feb 17:00 icons drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 7 Feb 17:00 proxy This way, no problem. Should I change the system wide permissions, the web server complains when I surf to it : the old 404 access denied pops up. I have a sneaking suspicion I have completely misunderstood some important concept. I would be grateful for some assistance. /Fredrik Carlen, Sweden To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
