I am having a problem with a new LVS setup using Piranha web gui. Here
is my setup
Redhat 7.3
Kernel 2.4.19
Ipvsadm 1.21
Apache 1.3.27
Php 4.3.1
 
Piranha starts, and I can access the web interface, however I get errors
saying; "Cant' initialize IPVS: Permission denied (you must be root).
 
I am sure this is because piranha is running as the user/group piranha,
and I can not run apache as root, plus seems like security hole to run
apache as root. I have setup LVS servers before, and do not remember
dealing with this issue. Please let me know what I am/have missed.
 
Thank You!
