I put the WebKit/webkit init script in my /etc/init.d directory to make WebKit start up upon boot (and to be able to control it manually in a less ad-hoc fashion than what I had been doing). This is linux (Debian). I modified it to run the appserver as a normal user (well, as me, anyway) rather than as root, and it starts the appserver in my personal working directory. This is already in the script, you just need to uncomment it, and comment-out the default line that runs as root (why is this the default? is this a good idea?). The problem then is that appserverpid.txt can't be read or written by the Appserver, because the webkit script creates it with 600 root permissions; so Appserver can't run. The fix is trivial: I added lines to chown appserverpid.txt to the user, and everything works.
I suggest that the Maintainers fix this script (or explain why webware should run as root). Unless nobody actually uses this, and there is a better way. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: New Crystal Reports XI.
