You also need to know that you can't change the permission on any of your scripts and/or directories to 777.

How are we supposed to run scripts that require 777 on directories and/or files? I've got half-a-dozen-or-so that mandate 777.

That usually means the script is poorly written... the script should be checking to see if the webserver user can write to the file/dir in question, but this doesn't mean the perms need to be 777. That's just lazy coding You'd have to tweak the script.

It probably only says it needs to be 777 because it assumes you are not using phpsuexec.

Login to your WHM >> Software >> Update Apache
Scroll down the page and Phpsuexec is one of the option there.

2. Files uploaded from php scripts are owned by "nobody," so they aren't counted in the user's quota. Today I found a user with 4 Gigs on his 100 meg account because of this.

I have the same "Problem" here, but one question.

Users with a Shopsoftware like OSC / XTC. When this Users upload Productimages, the images has nobody:nobody as Userrights and chmod 777

So, but why dont display the Apache this Pictures at the website ? Apache owned this OPictures ut doesnt display the pictures

Everey time a user upload pictures a admin must login via ssh und chown this pictures from nobody:nobody > User:User, chmod to 644 and than apache can display the pictures on the website.
