Re: Permissions



What error messages do you get when you violate this?

**********************
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was
unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator,
webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and inform them of the time the error
occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use
an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

How do you know some scripts require mode 755?

Because when I chmod the file to 755, it runs OK. So, I thought about
your question some more, and I chmoded the files to 644 and they ran OK,
too.

It turns out they were uploaded at 664. (Even though the chmod dialog
indicated they were 644). Now, why 644 works and 664 doesn't only
deepens the mystery for me.

Apache does not like running files that have excessive (more than
by the owner) write permission. It also doesn't like files that
are in directories with excessive write permission. suexec gets
even pickier. It's a security issue.
