Hi group, I have Apache running via cygrunsrv on a WinXP system. It works fine. Apache can even do a setuid on startup, so a 'ps -ef' looks like this:
UID PID PPID TTY STIME COMMAND httpd 1604 1308 ? 14:26:47 /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd SYSTEM 1308 1400 ? 14:26:47 /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd httpd 896 1308 ? 14:26:47 /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd httpd 536 1308 ? 14:26:47 /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd httpd 612 1308 ? 14:26:47 /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd httpd 560 1308 ? 14:26:47 /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd As you can see, I have it running as 'httpd', an unprivileged user, which I created without password and removed from the 'Users' group, so it cannot login. Unfortunately, this doesn't work on a Win7 system. If I try the same configuration in a Win7 system, the following message is logged in logs/error_log and the Service won't start: [alert] (1)Operation not permitted: setuid: unable to change to uid: 1006 So, I set a password for the 'httpd' user and configured the Service to log on as that user. This works, but now I cannot use cygrunsrv's -1 or -2 switches for redirecting STDOUT and STDERR anymore. cygrunsrv crashes if I set either one of them to /dev/null. If I unset them, it works. Can anybody help?
