Are you looking to do file backups that in effect replace the old tape drives of yore? Or are you trying to do hard disk images for forensic investigation, lost data recovery, or to image full discs that have some non-os information that needs to be cloned, in which case dd is the way to go, or ar

Indeed, what do your apache logs say? (/var/log/httpd/) Also did you set your wiki to direct your http request to https? Did you base URL include the port number? Their could be a number of things with just the wiki, so it would be nice to see where exactly Apache is directing your users and the

I think based on your previous postings that you may find that the name for the apache account is www-data. On Ubuntu it is set to an ID number of 33:33. How much of the system is running? I can't speak to your distro, but with Ubuntu, all of the log files are put in place when Synaptic installs

No, the logs are written as root, not as apache/nobody/www-data. Giving that unprivileged account access to your logs is a potential security issue. Read 'Permissions on ServerRoot Directories' here : http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/misc/security_tips.html Bryan O'Neal wrote: Make sure the
