foobarrister LQ Newbie Registered: Feb 2003 Posts: 5 Rep:	Running programs as Apache user Hi, I recently rented a dedicated server form one&one hosting. It came with a fairly standard pre-installed apache/PHP/MySQL setup. I have just installed GPG on the system and everything is running fine from the console. But what I really want is PHP to be able to run (and encypt using) GPG. PHP reports that it is running as the apache user, so how do I allow that user to run GPG? What (config file/directory) specifies the programs that apache can run? (it has the shell /bin/false in the passwd file) Many thanks in advance Dave
