RE: [PHP-DB] security in PHP under Apache

PHP runs via Apache, so it adopts the user that Apache uses, essentially. You can use a program like sudo to allow them to run certain commands on the server.

I have many users with websites and would like them to be able to run PHP under their usernames so as to ensure security. Though I'm not sure this is possible unless I install PHP as a CGI binary and use something like suExec (I currently have it as an Apache module, and would like to leave it that way). best wishes, simon ------------------------------------------- Studio 24 Ltd | tel. 01223 501 892 PO Box 88 | fax. 0870 063 1216 Cambridge | mob. 07974 074 547 CB4 1XH | www.studio24.net -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-db-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-db-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
