Mason Error

I have Apache/2.0.52, and HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler VERSION = 1.69.
Http server can be started without error, but web page will show
following error:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
mkdir /etc/httpd/mason/obj/: Permission denied at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/HTML/Mason/Compiler/ToObject. pm line
107
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On the RedHat server, /etc/httpd/mason is set with 777 permission and
owned by 'apache:apache', which is how httpd.conf set for user and
group.

How can I stop this Permssion error?

Thanks,
John Reiman

Re: Mason Error

replace ownership of /etc/httpd/mason to 'nobody:nobody', and/or
change User/Group settup to 'nobody' in httpd.conf DIDN'T solve the
issue. web page returns same error.

My configuration is:
- for directory of mason:
drwxr-xr-x 4 nobody nogroup 96 oct 22 10:29 mason
- in my httpd.conf:
User nobody
Group #-1

- in /etc/passwd
nobody:x:65534:65534:nobody:/:/bin/false
- in /etc/group
nogroup:x:65533:

'nobody' probably will not work because your server runs as 'apache'
in RedHat.

Are you running with taint mode? It looks like the file
name is not detainted until after creating it, which is
probably a bug at line 114 of ToObject.pm... have you
considered using a more recent version of Mason?

For this to work it seems like your permission should be:

chown apache:apache /etc/httpd/mason
chmod 755 /etc/httpd/mason

Does the directory /etc/httpd/mason/obj already exist, but
with permissions that cannot be read by the web server to
determine if it does exist?

Can we see output of `ls -la /etc/httpd/mason/` please.

Incidentally it might make sense to set it to compile mason
objects to files in a directory other than /etc, which is
supposed to be for configuration. For instance, somewhere
in /var might be more appropriate.
