N nathanc Well-Known Member Jul 20, 2007 #3 Jul 20, 2007 #3 I agree, however I keep getting this warning [config:vhost:mysite.private] Uid of /mnt/on/my/share/www.mysite.private/web/rails/public/ is smaller than minimum requirement 11, use server uid! I cant use server uid like it recommends cause I need it to run the rails app as the docroot owner. Any recommendations on resolving this warning? mistwang said: No, running as root should be avoid whenever possible, too risky. One security flaw will comprise the whole server. Click to expand...
