Joanie Chembars	Wednesday 27 July 2005 8:17:43 am How can I change the user that eZ runs under? Somehow I installed it where it writes its files using the webserver permissions and I need it to write using my user's permissions.........
Björn X	Wednesday 27 July 2005 10:50:56 am Your server is not configured right. Make use of the user/group directive in apache (suexec) Apache should write/execute using your user. You may also join the same group as apache
Gabriel Ambuehl	Wednesday 27 July 2005 10:55:02 am suexec only helps if PHP is run in CGI mode which doesn't work very well (some say not at all, I never tried) with Exponential. Easiest way is to configure Apache to run under the proper UID. Aside of that, there supposedly is some FastCGI hackery that might work but I never really dug into that. Visit http://triligon.org

Your server is not configured right.

Make use of the user/group directive in apache (suexec)

Apache should write/execute using your user.

You may also join the same group as apache
