Starting ZM with root instead of www-data
Posted: Mon Jan 04, 2010 6:25 am
I realize this is probably very bad practice, but I'm at my wits end -- spending 4 days of my Christmas break on this wasn't what I had intended.
The situation is my NFS mount can only be written to from root, and www-data can't write to it.
So what I need to do is make ZM start as root, so it can have access to the mount, so it can write to the symlink for /events/ I have going there.
All of those are started automatically from www-root.
Any ideas?
