Shell Programming and Scripting

The system username 'apache' and the system group 'apache'. If you're using the apache webserver, you already have both of these.

If you don't, it may be some other user and group, but you never mentioned not having apache.

it would be in /etc/passwd, isn't in it?

do i need to change anything in id_rsa ?? after copy operation

If you don't have apache, chown will say so. It won't catch fire or explode -- none of the commands I've given you are dangerous. If you don't have apache, you'll need to figure out what web server you do have so I can write different instructions for you.

Did 'chown apache:apache /path/to/filename' print an error message? If not, then it worked, and you have apache.

Yes, 'apache' would be in /etc/passwd as well as /etc/group

The contents of the file itself don't change.

You need to run the commands I showed you to set its permissions and its folders' permissions correctly.

oka thankx dude

hey one thing more when i say on the terminal:
ps -ef | grep tomcat
It gives me all correct info.
When i run this via cgi then why it is showing some wrong information.

Did chown work?

Depending on what's happening it could be various things. Just knowing that it's "wrong" in some vague manner doesn't tell me which of those might be happening.

What do you see when you run it in terminal?

What do you see when you run it in CGI?

What is your CGI code?
