Passenger runs as the user and group Apache runs as. That said you should not need to add the executable bit to any Ruby file unless it's a bin file, Ruby is not PHP (actually that always kinda annoyed me about PHP a bit :/..) That said, even if Apache was added to the git group that does not mean that Apache will run with the git group since Apache sets it's user and group. Your best bet in that situation is to set the group via configurations. I don't know how CentOS sets up Apache so you'll have to grep that out. On the permissions part, I would probably set it up as 640. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
