Hi Indy,<br><br>It seems that changing the file and/or directory permissions ( making them less restrictive ) would fix the particular problem.<br><br>Regards,<br>Emil<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Oct 6, 2009 at 11:59 AM, Indy Singh <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:indy@indigostar.com">indy@indigostar.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
I have a Perl CGI script that creates log files, and a second Perl CGI script that is used to view and delete the log files. However the second script is not able to delete the files.<br>
<br>
The first script is located in the Apache cgi-bin directory, the second is located in a subdirectory below htdocs. This allows the second script to be password protected with a .htaccess file. The configuration of this Apache server runs files in the cgi-bin directory as cgi scripts and any perl script below htdocs run as mod-perl. I am happy with this aspect of the configuration.<br>
<br>
The problem is that the second script does not have permission to delete the log files. I have found that this is because the two scripts run under a different used id. The cgi-bin scirpt runs as me, the second script runs as 'Apache'.<br>
<br>
Anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this issue. Preferrably without mucking around with the Apache configuration.<br>
<br>
