Yes,
i guess the horde is running as the httpd server permission. right ??
and the /var/log can only write by root ....
i think i can change the permission of /var/log to wirteable by httpd server, but it is not good...........
is there any other way to solve it ??
i am checking the file.php code in pear ..... but still hv no cue ...
pls. help .....
thanks!!
