I have some problem with avatars, no problem to upload them, the files exist, does have 600 (rw-------) as persmissins, but this is not good for me
because im running php as cgi and apache suexec, there is one special user to exec the phpscript, witch makes uploaded files owned by that user (in this case party/hellweb). The problem starts when the apacheserver tryes to access all uploaded images because it run under a different user (nouser/nogroup, httpd/httpd or something like that), it will not have any permissin to access uploaded pictures.
I guess you set all permission when the files are uploaded? Maybe you should set read access to members in group and nouser/nogroup to (644, rw-r--r--)?
