Mounting read-only will prevent any change. If your files will never change, this is a good way to ensure the files aren't changed. If files need to be changed, the recommended behaviour is: - Files owned by user different than the user Apache runs as. This user can have full access to the files - Files group-owned by the group Apache runs as. The group should only have read-access (and execute-rights for directories) - Others don't need access - The user or group Apache runs as should only have write access in upload-directories Joost --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
