Some of my scripts break when running under mp2 (cvs) because the UID is set as root rather than the Apache user (which for me is "web"). The problem manifests with RCS file locking. Is there some switch to set so that I can run scripts as "web"?
Eh? Are you talking about 'make test' or installed mod_perl? If the former, use the latest cvs where this should work if the latter, modify httpd.conf.
The latter. Turned out to be a caused by the perl ENV not being propogated to forked programs: http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/troubleshooting/troubleshooting.html#C_Libraries_Don_t_See_C__ENV__Entries_Set_by_Perl_Code
Fixed by adding:
$ENV{'USER'} = 'web';
$ENV{'LOGNAME'} = 'web';to the start-up script.
Thanks for the reply -- Mark
