suPHP and umask()

[Milligan]

I have a problem with a gentoo box, that has apache2 with suphp installed.

Default, when uploading files and moving them from /tmp, files are now uploaded with mode 600. I need them to be 644. I have come to the conclusion that I need to use umask to globally change this setting. Due to the implementation situation, it's not an option to either script og manually change permissions on these files. This needs to be done environmentally.

I have tried editing the umask setting in suphp.conf, but it doesnt seem to do anything, what so ever. I have tried editing other lines in the config file to force errors to check that the file is being parsed, and that seems OK. I.e changing the min_uid to an insane number gives me internal server errors and reports to the log.

Logging seems to be working. When a script executes, it reports to the logfile which logs the exact time of execution, and what user has performed it.

I have tried adding umask 0133 to apache2ctl and to /etc/init.d/apache2, but they don't seem to be doing anything what so ever. Addind it doesnt give me errors, but doesn't give me a change in behaviour either.

I have been googling this, and I saw some talk about a patch, but I haven't found the patch, and I have also come to the conclusion that this patch is talking about an older version of suphp.

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

set your umask in your /etc/suphp.conf to :

;Umask to set, specify in octal notation
umask=0022
