[pmwiki-users] Permission troubles

[Joachim Durchholz]

Hi,

I just noticed that upgrading from beta28 to beta34 wouldn't work on my 
machine: I kept getting code 500 (server problem) errors, with 
"premature end of script headers" notices in the Apache log.

Turned out to be a permission problem. I'm running PHP as CGI under 
suEXEC, and suEXEC doesn't like executables (i.e. PHP scripts) that are 
group writable.

I'm now doing not only
   chmod ugo+x `find -name "*.php"`
(to make the PHP scripts executable, so that they will work as CGI) but also
   chmod go-w `find -name "*.php"`
to make it palatable for suEXEC, as part of my PmWiki install routine.

However, I'd greatly prefer it if the .php files came out of the tarball 
with the right permissions. Should I open a PITS issue for that?

Regards,
Jo
