Hello List
TS> You could run the chown command using sudo if you are on *ix. How could I forget ;-) this worked. Thanks. my @args = ($mcm->{sudo_bin}, $mcm->{chown_bin}, $ses->{user}, $realpath); Where the Apache user has the sudo right only for chown on files under the real path. First I tried the Perl package 'Sudo' as I prefer those. But it didn't worked, and I gave up very quick. So it's worth to give a try. http://search.cpan.org/~landman/Sudo-0.21/lib/Sudo.pm Best Regards, Christian - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - ====== START ORIGINAL MESSAGE ====== chown executed by the apache user You could run the chown command using sudo if you are on *ix. http://www.courtesan.com/sudo/sudo.html Tom
