Hello list,
I want that my user "frutz" can restart apache server without being root.
My /etc/sudoer is configured as follows:
# /etc/sudoer
# sudoers file.
#
# This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.
#
# See the sudoers man page for the details on how to write a sudoers file.
# Host alias specification
Host_Alias SERVER = frutz23
# User alias specification
User_Alias WEBBIES = frutz,servicer
# Cmnd alias specification
Cmnd_Alias WEBSTART = /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start
Cmnd_Alias WEBSTOP = /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl stop
Cmnd_Alias SERVICE = /sbin/service
# Defaults specification
# User privilege specification
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
WEBBIES SERVER=WEBSTART
WEBBIES SERVER=WEBSTOP
WEBBIES SERVER=SERVICE
What happened here?
User frutz can start the apache via apachectl, but
followed by the folloeing error message:
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl restart
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl restart: httpd not running, trying to start
fopen: Permission denied
httpd: could not open error log file /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log.
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl restart: httpd could not be started
How I have to configure /etc/sudoers so that user frutz can restart the
apache server gracefully?
Hope for help
Yours,
Oliver Etzel
