Package: lighttpd Version: 1.4.28-1 Severity: normal
I run lighttpd as a regular user, instead of the www-data user. This is primarily due to the concern in bug #573320, and since it this is one user machine, I'd rather have them run as themselves than letting them ftp, etc. as www-data. That all works fine, however, I upgraded the other day, and the upgrade script must include a chown -R www-data.www-data /var/log/lighttpd and chmod -R wwww-data.www-data /var/cache/lighttpd as everything broke after the upgrade. The log directory was easy to spot, but I didn't notice that the cache permissions had been reset until I was debugging a 413 Request Too Large error, which turned out to be the permissions were wrong and nothing to do with the size of the request. Perhaps the chown should only happen on install, and not on upgrade? Or maybe check the server.username/group? Or at least warn the user that you are changing permissions, so he can manually put them back. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers proposed-updates APT policy: (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32.9-rscloud (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages lighttpd depends on: ii libattr1 1:2.4.44-2 Extended attribute shared library ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.5-4 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6 2.11.2-5 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libgamin0 [libfam0] 0.1.10-2+b1 Client library for the gamin file ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.23-5 OpenLDAP libraries ii libpcre3 8.02-1.1 Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expressi ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8o-2 SSL shared libraries ii libterm-readline-perl-p 1.0303-1 Perl implementation of Readline li ii lsb-base 3.2-23.1 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii mime-support 3.48-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime Versions of packages lighttpd recommends: ii spawn-fcgi 1.6.3-1 A fastcgi process spawner Versions of packages lighttpd suggests: pn apache2-utils <none> (no description available) ii openssl 0.9.8o-2 Secure Socket Layer (SSL) binary a ii rrdtool 1.4.3-1 time-series data storage and displ -- Configuration Files: /etc/lighttpd/conf-available/10-fastcgi.conf changed: (not relevant to bug) /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf changed: ** Relevant changes: server.username = "george" server.groupname = "george" -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
