Since I mentioned pair.com in my earlier email, I should mention that I opened a ticket with pair.com and received a very prompt response recommending their php-as-CGI-as-you solution:
http://www.pair.com/support/knowledge_base/authoring_development/system_cgi_php-cgiwrap.html This does appear to be the right answer - PHP scripts, including Symfony, will run "as you" and this means you can remove the "world-readable" and "world-writable" bits that are so dangerous on a shared hosting server. Of course not every shared hosting company offers this option. You might ask why this option isn't the default. The reason seems to be increased resources - every PHP script then requires a separate, short-lived process (classic CGI). But if you're using shared hosting for cost reasons, you should look for a host that offers something like this and make darn sure you don't have world-readable and world-writable files. Especially (but not exclusively) with Symfony due to its need to write PHP scripts to a cache folder on the fly. -- Tom Boutell www.punkave.com www.boutell.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "symfony users" group.
