Hi,

I'm trying to open a file (using fopen) in the /tmp directory which is
owned by user 'zapman'. The php script is also owned by user 'zapman'.
However, when I try to run it, I get :
Warning: fopen("/tmp/1.dat","r") - Permission denied in
/documents/zapman/html/openfile.php on line 5

If I do a ps auwx | grep http, I get :
root     20341  0.0  0.0 15100   56 ?        S    12:46   0:02
/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -DSSL
nobody   20342  0.6  3.3 18276 4184 ?        S    12:46   0:26
/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -DSSL
nobody   20343  0.8  4.6 20008 5936 ?        S    12:46   0:35
/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -DSSL
nobody   20344  0.3  3.2 16100 4108 ?        S    12:46   0:15
/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -DSSL

So the main process is running as root, the rest is running as nobody...
that's the way to do it, right ? Or should I run Apache as root (which I
don't like at all !) ?

Greetings,

Wim Godden
