I managed to create a workaround: I put the user apache runs under into the
group "root" - it's working now...

I know this is not safe so I'm trying to find another solution...
(although the box is used for intranet in a small company and so security isn't
such a big issue here).

So it seems to have something to do with the rights - is there any directive in
httpd.conf that I should have a look at ?

Any ideas ?

kr,
Joerg
