Synopsis: Umask is inherited by Apache  CGIs

State-Changed-From-To: open-closed
State-Changed-By: dgaudet
State-Changed-When: Tue Apr 20 16:28:10 PDT 1999
State-Changed-Why:
I suggest editing your apachectl script to change the umask.
There is no one setting which we could default to which makes
sense for all systems.  For some, 022 is right, for others
002 is right.  If you've got admins using different umasks 
I think you've got other problems... what happens if they
create files as root?

general/3920: Umask is inherited by Apache CGIs

1999-02-18 Thread Vermont Rutherfoord

Number: 3920
Category:   general
Synopsis:   Umask is inherited by Apache  CGIs
Confidential:   no
Severity:   non-critical
Priority:   medium
Responsible:apache
State:  open
Class:  change-request
Submitter-Id:   apache
Arrival-Date:   Thu Feb 18 13:50:01 PST 1999
Last-Modified:
Originator: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Organization:
apache
Release:1.3.4
Environment:
All
Description:
When different administrators start Apache, sometimes their umasks are 
abnormally restrictive and adversely affect CGIs such as FrontPage.  It would 
be nice to have apachectl hard-set the umask, or to create a Umask directive 
for Apache.
How-To-Repeat:
Set umask to 077.
Start Apache.
CGIs will inherit umask.
Fix:
The Umask directive I think would be the cleanest way.
