Apache Upload of text document

[Carol Clark]

I am having a problem with permissions when upload a file to a unix server from apache.

The file created has rw r permissions and I need it to have rw r r.

I have logged in as root and su to user www and when I touch a file it create the correct permissions.

Obviously when using http:// you are not loggin into unix as a user so where is it getting the permsissions from.

Thanks in advance

Shalom,

Check the umask of the user that owns the upload location. apache does not control permissions, user configuration does.

Also, some variance is possible depending on upload methodology. ftp versus sftp for example.

apache does not control final permissions, the user configuration does.

How do you upload? Is it an apache package or cgi script or whatever?

[Carol Clark]

We are uploading the file using cgi-bin script

The directory we are uploading the file too has full access and the user that owns the directory has a umask of 00

So I think your script will create the file (with permissions) and write into it, so you need to check the settings for the user that owns the script (the user that runs apache) and check what your script really does too.
