Package: lighttpd
Version: 1.4.28-1
Severity: normal
I run lighttpd as a regular user, instead of the www-data user. This is
primarily due to the concern in bug #573320, and since it this is one user
machine, I'd rather have them run
as themselves than letting them ftp, etc. as www-data.
That all works fine, however, I upgraded the other day, and the upgrade script
must include a
chown -R www-data.www-data /var/log/lighttpd and
chmod -R wwww-data.www-data /var/cache/lighttpd
as everything broke after the upgrade.
The log directory was easy to spot, but I didn't notice that the cache
permissions had been reset until I was debugging a 413 Request Too Large error,
which turned out to be the
permissions were wrong and nothing to do with the size of the request.
Perhaps the chown should only happen on install, and not on upgrade?
Or maybe check the server.username/group?
Or at least warn the user that you are changing permissions, so he can manually
put them back.

Maybe, maybe not. I'll think about it.
