Re: changing permissions in order to write a file in Mod_perl

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2005/04/29]

I really don't know but I was just trying to set up something similar 
here and noticed that under MP1 you certainly couldn't, see this 
article:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/install.html#Is_it_possible_to_r
un_mod_perl_enabled_Apache_as_suExec_

And then I saw this on changes on MP2:

"perchild

The perchild MPM is similar to the worker MPM, but is extended with a 
mechanism which allows mapping of requests to virtual hosts to a 
process running under the user id and group configured for that host. 
This provides a robust replacement for the suexec mechanism.

META: as of this writing this mpm is not working"

It looks like suexec is not an option. There maybe an alternitive in 
the future though. Perhaps someone else with more knowledge on MP 
could answer your question better than I can.
Dp.
