Need some help on apache permissions
I am kind of new to the apache , so I don't have any idea even if this can be done.
Let me briefly explain what I want to achieve:
I have a centOS 3.5 server with apache 1.3, and cPanel/WHM installed.
There is a sub-directory in each users directory:
/home/username/.autorespond
contains autoresponder messages.
and there is another directory:
/etc/valiases
which contains mail-forwarding, autorespond information for each account.
I wrote some PHP scripts that modifies, creates those files, and creates autoresponder messages, and forward aliases for e-mail accounts.
However, my scripts cannot access those folders/files unless they're chmod'ed to 777. But I am sure there is a reason that those folders are NOT set to 777 by default. (security?
) Basicly, what I need is to be able to run my scripts (lets say: /home/mainuser/www/dothis.php) in any folder of the server. Maybe give the mainuser some kind of super-user privilages that can read and write any kind of folder.
Any help greatly appreciated...
Regards
