Changing umask of apache on ArchLinux

This didn't work:

Setting the umask of the Apache user

Arch doesn't have a /etc/apache2/envvars file, and changing the /etc/rc.d/httpd script didn't change anything.

Maybe someone can enlighten me how/where to exactly change the rc-script, so apache has an umask 002

Solution

  • After trying again, strangely editing the /etc/rc.d/httpd file works.

    Just put

    umask 0002

    Right after the #!/bin/bash and everything works as it should.

    No idea why it didn't work before, but well...
