Description adhisimon 2006-11-13 17:23:08 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.8) Gecko/20061108 Fedora/1.5.0.8-1.fc5 Firefox/1.5.0.8

Description of problem:
File /usr/sbin/suphp has wrong permission . It would prevent httpd create child process because it can not read and execute it because it prevent user/group other than root/root to read and execute it (httpd runs on apache/apache)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mod_suphp-0.6.1-4.fc5

How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Access a page served by mod_suphp


Actual Results:
It will get "Internal Server Error" message and httpd error log will contain:
Permission denied: couldn't create child process

Expected Results:
The page content show nicely

Additional info:
Single command to solve this problem is:
chmod o+rx /usr/sbin/suphp
Comment 1 Sitsofe Wheeler 2006-11-14 23:14:37 UTC 
I believe a better solution is to ensure that suphp is in the apache group.
Comment 2 Sitsofe Wheeler 2006-11-18 18:58:09 UTC 
Just to clarify, in the spec file I think:
%attr (4550, root, root) %{_sbindir}/suphp 
should be
%attr (4550, root, apache) %{_sbindir}/suphp

This means only root and apache will be able to run the setuid binary which is
the way that suexec does things too.

Thx, package is updates as suggested in comment #2.
