[cobalt-developers] Admin Server startup problems

["Schiltz Luc" <becher@xxxxxx>]

Hi,

I currently encounter this problem on a raq4

Starting admin web server: Error:       Apache has not been designed to
serve pages while
        running as root.  There are known race conditions that
        will allow any local user to read any file on the system.
        If you still desire to serve pages as root then
        add -DBIG_SECURITY_HOLE to the EXTRA_CFLAGS line in your
        src/Configuration file and rebuild the server.  It is
        strongly suggested that you instead modify the User
        directive in your httpd.conf file to list a non-root
        user.
/usr/sbin/httpd

does anybody know how to fix it without recompiling the server itself ?

thanks

Luc
