strange permission issue
root@server [~]# httpd restart/usr/sbin/httpd restart: httpd not running, trying to start
[Tue Jul 25 06:21:32 2006] [warn] Loaded DSO libexec/mod_python.so uses plain Apache 1.3 API, this module might crash under EAPI! (please recompile it with -DEAPI)
Syntax error on line 166 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
FastCgiIpcDir /tmp/fcgi_ipc: can't create dynamic directory "/tmp/fcgi_ipc/dynamic": access for server (uid -1, gid -1) failed: read not allowed
/usr/sbin/httpd restart: httpd could not be started
root@server [~]# chmod -R 777 /tmp/fcgi_ipc/
root@server [~]# service httpd startssl
As you can see, I had to run chmod -R 777 /tmp/fcgi_ipc/ to fix permission. Long ago I installed Ruby Rails / FastCGI. I have to run this command again after any apache failure or server reboots. Anyone know why? I have ruby / fastcgi installed on other servers and the permissions do not change, no problems there except this server.
