Anyone know how to set file permissions in the Windows version of Apache?

AFAIK it cannot be done.  CHMOD commands to Windows-based FTP servers don't work, which means that it is unlikely you can do anything HTTP-wise either.

Can't you just change the permissions in the standard Windows NT manner, through the security tab in the files properties?

"Don't stop, baby, lovin'"
"Don't stop, babe, believin'"

Nope - Apache doesn't integrate with the windows shell like IIS 4/5. :-/

ACtually, to a certain degree you CAN use NTFS permissions to control Apache access to files on your server. Remember: Apache runs as a user (and you certainly better be running it as an unpriveleged user!). You can give/deny permissions crudely by assigning them to the Apache user. This is rough.

The better method, the Apache method, is to create .htpasswd and .htaccess files. .htpasswd (which can be named almost anything) is a file that contains a list of usernames and some encrypted (via crypt()) passwords. .htaccess describes the sorts of access users will have, as well as the name and location of the password file to use. In order to allow the use of .htaccess files, you need to do an AllowOverride in your httpd.conf file, in the section pertaining to the server, virtual server, or alias in question.

All that said, I'd recommend against Apache on NT/2k/XP, if only because it doesn't integrate with the NT's security services.

Hmmmm, the problem is that I tried runnind IIS 5, and all it got me was a swarm of Nimda worms in the \scripts directory. So I said "screw that" and went back to Apache. Besides, I wanted to experiment with PHP/MySQL, not some M$ crap.

The reason I wanted to find out about the permissions in the first place was because I ran across a BB that uses PHP, but it needs to be able to write to files... :-/
