i was wondering why Fedora (and openSUSE) still use "apache" for the php user (and "nginx" user for nginx) instead of using a generic "http" or "www" user for php, apache and nginx like some other distros? When running php under the "nginx" user, the session gets broken every time php is updated, because the package has the "apache" user hardcoded [2] and those dir/file perms get set back to apache. This is annoying and confusing when using nginx and being new to Fedora and doesn't happen on Arch, and i'm guessing not on Ubuntu/(Debian?) either. Now i've made my own session and opcache directories, as mentioned here [1], but i'd rather not have to make these special config adjustments for different distros, especially when it seems like a workaround for something that should be fixed in the packaging. Maybe i'm wrong?
Am i missing something about how people are using nginx and php together, or is this just legacy packaging defaults from a time when there was only apache, which haven't been reconsidered since then? If the latter, it would be nice if Fedora would reconsider the way these packages' users are handled. thanks 1) https://askbot.fedoraproject.org/en/question/111334/permissions-on-folders-in-varlibphp-changed-after-update/ 2) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=744405 _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
