i had ( or still have ) the same problem. Im running asterisk as
asterisk:asterisk, but dont know why, the new voicemails are saved as
root:root with 700 permissions, so i made a quick workaround, i added
the following line in sudoers file:<br>
<br>
%lighttpd ALL=(root)NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/chmod -R 755 /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/<br>
<br>
dont need to say im using lighttpd instead of apache. Then when i want
to read voicemail i execute from php the command to change the
permissions in /var/spool/<br>
<br>
what do you think of that approach? is ugly yes, but any security wholes?<br>
<br>

Use group permissions. Add the apache user to the asterisk group and<br>give the group the appropriate read and/or write access. IMO this is the<br>easiest way to get around the apache permissions thing, and probably the<br>

<br><br>Thanks for your answer,<br>I am working on Debian Sarge but I have compiled Astersik 1.0.9 myself<br>without .deb Packages.<br>I need to access to voicemail and sound files from my web-interface (php<br>and cgi/perl) but I can't change Apache user because of others
<br>applications.<br>Asterisk creates files under Asterisk user and I have to access them<br>from www-data user.<br>Do you have other solution? I have tried using sudo but it doesn't seem<br>to work.<br><br>Regards,<br>Amaury
