Re: Specifying File Permissions for Apache/MP2 created files

Just setting a simple umask did do the trick for 90% of my needs

I'm stuck  on one issue though --

     $req = Apache::Request->new($r);
     $upload = $req->upload("foo");
     $upload->link('/path/to/file');

no matter what or when I set the umask, file permissions are unix 600

I say 'when', because I have tried setting the umask when i call the 
link, on the customer handler, and on the startup.pl script that 
httpd.conf calls to preload modules (i kept adding umasks at different 
points to see if it needed to be set before the module got called for 
the first time)

Does anyone have a suggestion?
