Thanks...
The lines to change are:
do
if [ -f $LOG ]
then
if [ "$APACHE_CHOWN_LOGFILES" = "1" ]
then
savelog -c $APACHE_OLD_LOGS -m 640 -u $USR -g $GRP \
$LOG > /dev/null
else
savelog -c $APACHE_OLD_LOGS -m 640 -u root -g adm \
$LOG > /dev/null
fi
fi
done
changing 640 to 644. This should work... will wait a few days to make sure
there are no side-effects to this.
Perhaps Johnie could make this an optional setting in
/etc/apache/cron.conf or something like that...?
Sincerely,
Jas
