I just had a very interesting conversation with a Unix neophyte about running a CGI script via an Apache web server on Solaris.
neophyte: When I run my script from the command line, the script works. Why doesn't Apache run my script? me: Because Apache runs as nobody and nobody doesn't have permission to run the script neophyte: But I want anybody to run the script me: Then we have to change the permissions so nobody can run the script >From there the dialogue quickly devolved into a "Who's on first" conversation. All that's missing are users anybody, somebody, and everybody to round out the quartet. I've very glad that, at least under Ubuntu, Apache runs as www-data.
