Thanks Magnus.
The problem we are having is that when Orion attempts to create those files
a permission denied error is issued by Linux. This does not happen when
Orion runs as user root, but rather when it runs as user orion. However, as
user orion it has full control over its own directory tree, so the
implication is that Orion is attempting to write outside its own directory
tree.
For example, if we first run Orion as user root and then execute the JSP
checkbox example, the checkbox.jsp.jspCache file is created and runs. If we
then run Orion as user orion the checkbox JSP example still runs, but now
the other JSP examples fail because permission is denite to write a file.
Here is the key: We assume the denied file is the JSP cache file, but it
could be another intermediate file or something else. So we are wondering
exactly how that JSP cache file is created so we can be sure to give user
orion the proper permissions.
I apologize if it seems that I am going on and on about this, but we can't
let Orion run as user root and we can't leave all Orion files world
writable. So we are looking for a solution that is secure.
Thanks again...
Jim
