Better do the following (everybody can read, only owner can alter or execute):
If some cgi needs to write to some location beneath htdocs change ownership of those files/directories to the user used by your webserver to run cgis (normally apache, httpd oder nobody).

I'm working in a linux server where wrappers are executed by multiple users of different groups. The log and output files are created with 554 permissions by default. This is stopping other users to run the wrappers unless the log and output files are deleted or given 777 permission. Setting SUID... (1 Reply)
