What do you think about "undoing" this in the Wonder version?
I think that it's not a great idea... That's why I didn't advocate that direction. ;-)

To be clear, I don't advocate changing the log file to be world writable.

Why not? It is a log file, it is for debugging. How serious is this security issue really compared to having debug log files that few will ever figure out how to make work? Either I am missing something, or that is a trade off that I'd be willing to look at.


If someone has ideas about how to change the ownership of the log file so that the child processes can append to it then I'm totally in favour! It would need to be supported in all versions of Apache and should not break when compiled for other webservers. ;-)
