I created this script and set permissions to:

-rwxrwxrwx    1 httpd    httpd         695 Sep 25 09:56 logs.php

I get this in my access error logs:

[Thu Sep 25 09:57:43 2003] [error] PHP Warning:
fopen("/var/log/maillog", "r") - Permission denied in
/home/sites/home/users/admin/web/logs.php on line 7
[Thu Sep 25 09:57:43 2003] [error] PHP Warning:  Supplied
argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in
/home/sites/home/users/admin/web/logs.php on line 8

The firsat line seems to dislike the 'httpd' user and not sure
about the second line.... can you help. Thanks for the
contribution.

regards

Jon
