Re: thttpd-2.2.4 + daemontools-0.76

Hi Bernard

Thanks for responding... I spent some time investigating
your suggestions and resolved the issue. I think it was the
fact that in /service/thttpd/log/run I did not have the
full path to multilog, as the call to multilog happens
after the setuidgid and thttpd's path doesn't include
/usr/sbin?

Details below.

thttpd logs stderr by default to syslog (aargh!).
The -l switch allows redirection of stdout only.

$ ls -l /dev/stdout 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Jun 3 18:31 /dev/stdout -> fd/1

Also, readproctitle process reads:

/dev/stdout: Permission denied

Hmmm... thttpd sets uid/gid to user thttpd using the -u
switch anyway, or the compiled in default if blank, so
leaving out the setuidgid command makes no difference
anyway.

I've just shut-down the thttpd service, cleaned-up the
environment, removing stale supervise for thttpd, removing
/service/thttpd/supervise and modified my log/run file with
full path to multilog.  All seems ok now - details below:

New /service/thttpd/run looks like:

#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/sbin/thttpd -D \
    -p 80 \
    -d /home/httpd/iphost/html \
    -l /dev/stdout

And /service/thttpd/log/run looks like:

#!/bin/sh
exec setuidgid thttpd /usr/sbin/multilog t /var/log/thttpd

Now to see how thttpd performs under CGI ;-)

Thanks
Dale
