I'm still running an older iMac G4 (the lamp) with 10.5.8. I use it just for Skype and radioShark, and for nothing else. Access through screen sharing from a Intel Mini, also 10.5.8

Today, while screensharing still worked, some utilities (ie.Batchmod) refused to start. So I had DiskUtility running acces rights repair. Examining the log afterwards, it revealed that the values for owner and group were (instead 0) over 510'000 (yes: over fivehundredandtenthousend) for all items in usr/share/man and all shells (bin/csh, bin/tcsh, bin/zsh...), and all access rights were r--r--r--.

The Apache shouldn't cause this. The owner 70 is far from the half miljon. I havn't seen your kind of file permission failure but you could examine your log files with /Console.app and note the time when the web server starts and use it when read other logs of interest. You could also read the logs on the machine from were you controlled the G4 and see if it gives you any clues.


You're right, but that's too late: the first things I did, when the problem came up, was a thorough cleaning with MainMenu. So the logs are gone. I should have thouth that over before....
