I think that worked! Just by adding umask 022 in apachectl startup script and restarting apache.

Apache has been configured and is running fine. But other users need read permissions to the /var/log/httpd directory. Before I implemented cronolog (www.cronolog.org), I forced a permissions change to 755 in the startup script for the /var/log/httpd directory. After I implemented cronolog this does not work, since cronolog automatically changes permissions to 400. Is there a way to force permissions to 644 at least in the httpd.conf file and keep it that way even after cronolog rotates logs. I could implement chmod -R 755 /var/log/httpd via cron at midnight, but this is a crude way of doing thing. I hope there is a better, elegant way, via Apache. I again appreciate any inputs to this. thanks # mukarram syed Mukarram Syed [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fussy? Opinionated? Impossible to please? Perfect.
