Description

​http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/0.96/modpython/

The docs should be explicit about the permissions that the apache user must have over the project source files. I think that the apache user should either have ownership or read and execute rights. (Can someone please clarify this?)

Thanks!

I believe all the apache needs is read access to the files, as long as the database isn't sqlite, or similarly file-based.

This has been fixed for a bit; the docs now read:

Make sure that your Python source files' permissions are set such that the Apache user (usually named apache or httpd on most systems) will have read access to the files.
