Hi all --
I have a friend that owns a web hosting company and recently he asked me to check up on his security ... I found that PHP scripts could access, modify, etc. anything on the drive. Of course, this is because PHP was invoked by apache, which is being run as a root user (Administrator, he runs apache on win2k3 for some odd reason) but I do not know the remedy. How could he set up his apache/PHP so that only the users of his web hosting service could "do stuff" to their own web directories. I know I am not explaining this well, but I think you get the picture :) I also know there is a simple solution to this, I googled it though and I couldn't find it.
