Tell you what... let's say CF runs as a user called "cfmx" (enter whatever user you use here). You want a user cfadmin to be able to edit the files as well.
Do this: Add your cfadmin user into a cfadmin group (done automatically on OS's like Redhat I believe). Then do chown -R cfmx:cfadmin /opt/coldfusionmx7/ (or whatever your root CF directory is). Now all the files belong to the cfmx user and the cfadmin group. Now, chmod -R g+w /opt/coldfusionmx7/ etc... so the group has read, write, and execute permissions. This way the user that CF runs as has full control of the files, and so does any user in the cfadmin group. ~Brad -----Original Message----- From: Brad Wood [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 04, 2007 5:16 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Can CF run if it's configuration files are not owned by root on UNIX? What user does CF run as? I think it needs to be the same. ~Brad -----Original Message----- From: Ian Skinner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 04, 2007 5:12 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Can CF run if it's configuration files are not owned by root on UNIX? If one changed to owner of the various configuration files of CF so that someone other then root can edit them, will CF crash and burn? We are trying to separate the role of Unix administrator and CF administrator on our web server.
