Heheheh, and believe it or not, the way you have it set it is making it more complicated, not easier. Why don't you just set it up the way it was before instead of stubbornly trying to do it this way? And yes, I'm drawing from years of programming as a hobbyiest and professional, and I've encountered this exact same thing when my friends or colleagues and I try to take shortcut because we're lazy citing "just want to get this done" and it makes for headaches later. That formula of running Apache as the default and then chown -R apache.apache sql-ledger that -R is recursive, which means that the computer will set the ownership *for* you, for everything under sql-ledger. Set those other binaries back to root, try it again, and if it doesn't work, then come back. Miguel is right -- it doesn't matter if it httpd is owned by scott:scott. When you're logged in as root and you run httpd, it STILL will be run as root, unless you can verify with ps aux to see who is running it. -- -Qaexl- http://www.next-horizons.com/qaexl/ ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: viaVerio will pay you up to $1,000 for every account that you consolidate with us. http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;4749864;7604308;v? http://www.viaverio.com/consolidator/osdn.cfm ------------------------------------------------------- (un)subscribe: http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sql-ledger-users Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
