[Serusers] Re: serweb issu

[Klaus Darilion]

That's not all - because next time you restart ser, ser will set the 
permissions again to 660 and apache can't write to the fifo.

So, try to solve it as I said.

I created a user ser and a group ser.
I'm starting ser with:
ser -g ser

Furthermore I added the apache user to the group 'ser'

This allows apache to write to the fifo without changing the permissions 
of the fifo.

This works fine for me with ser 0.8.12 stable. recently there were some 
changes to the fifo and user/group switching in unstable ser. So, I 
don't know if this also works with unstable ser.

regards
klaus
