Folks
I'm having file-access problems in Apache 2.4 under Centos 7. In particular:
- I have a file that's readable to every user and every application,
(writeable by only one user), but my CGI scripts cannot read it.
- Some of my CGI scripts need temporary storage for some files. They
are, for example, some internal log files, tnat get cleaned up over time, but I want to be able to look at them (as root). Where would you suggest they be placed? I've tried /tmp/my_private_files/, and /var/tmp/my_private_files/, but Apache fails to find even the directory.
Any suggestions?
What is the status of selinux on your system? If it is on try switching to permissive mode.
Any error messages in /var/log/messages or your apache logs or audit logs?
Finally, have a look through the list archives as I seem to remember some discussion of this recently - specifically threads like:
