giving access to /etc/valiases/domain.com to user with php s

[haze]

I have a customer that wants to be able to edit the file via a php script on his site. How can I go about doing this?

right now we do that manually for our clients ..

but if there is a script to edit that which a client can handle on his/her own - would be great.

He just wanted to edit it manually in a text box?

He is providing aliases to users of his site, and he has a scipt made up to automatically modify the file to do so. What permissions or ownerships rather, should I make? Are there any other steps?

Its already writable to his user if you a using suexec.

Nope, I cant use SuExec, as it conflicts with a few of our users cgi scripts.

If the valias file is already user writeable why would we need suexec to make the php script modify the file?

 

[snowgod]

Because otherwise the script is run as &nobody& rather than the user (and the user owns his/her own valiases file). Nobody doesn't have access to write this file.

But I didn't think PHP scripts were actually run under the user's UID under a buildapache(mod_php) setup, even with SUEXEC.

Nick?

Anyone have a solution for this at all? Im still fooling around and haven't come up with anything.
