239255 - 2.2.4.1 $webservergroup is the group of the webserver, not the user

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Documentation, defect)

Description

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

section 2.2.4.1 says:

checksetup.pl can set tighter permissions on Bugzilla's files and directories if
it knows what user the webserver runs as. Look for the User  line in httpd.conf,
and place that value in the $webservergroup variable in localconfig. Then rerun
checksetup.pl.

That should be "if it knows what group the webserver runs as" and "Look for the
Group line in httpd.conf"

The 2.16 docs don't have this specific "2.2.4.1" section, and its equivalent
doesn't seem to need this correction applied. There might be other places where
the "user" --> "group" replacement might need to be performed, but if those
exist, I believe it's outside the scope of this bug.
