Bug report 3784 looks like it is another symptom of the same problem. Although apache itself is running with group www as specified with a group directive in the config file, CGI programs seem to run as the group that was in effect when the server was launched. I'm seeing this with mod_fcgi programs, but I suspect that this is not the only module with this issue. >How-To-Repeat: Configure apache with a group directive, set your group to another gid, and start apache. Use ps to examine the gid of the running processes. This is particularly simple with mod_fcgi since the fcgi programs stay running after the current request is done. >Fix: I can just set my group id before starting apache, but this is just a workaround, not a fix. >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.
