Hi,
I am trying to restrict access to docroot as much as possible. Questions is: should SYSTEM group have access to it or can it be removed? Apache runs under its own account. I am thinking to allow access only to Administrators group and Apache account - would that hurt?
Thanks! |

You must allow SYSTEM to access the folder. If not apache work correctly. Windows it self uses that account to access the file system. But you can limit it to Admins, apache account and SYSTEM.
To secure apache you can use e.g. open_basedir for PHP. |
