i have root owned dirs for apache. i just realised why the ScriptLog directive never worked on my machine. apache runs as user 'httpd'. i needed to make logs/ and logs/<file> owned by user 'httpd' not too critical of a situation, more a matter of inconsistency as all other log files appear to be created/updated as root. >How-To-Repeat: n/r >Fix: setuid(0) when creating/writing this logfile....i won't make a patch as this is probably a one+one liner or close to it :). -d %0 >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, ] [you need to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line ] [and leave the subject line UNCHANGED.
