I am trying to install freePBX admin utility for Asterisk 1.4 (on SuSE 10.2). Installation instruction says this:

httpd (Apache) configuration - Edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf (or /etc/apache2/apache2.conf) so that: User asterisk Group asterisk

If I add this, how this will affect other HTML dirs? Does this mean that Apache will run as user "asterisk"?

Yes.

freePBX keeps its php scripts under user&group called "asterisk". Additionally, there is an additional instruction

Chown the PHP session.save_path directory: - chown asterisk /var/lib/php/session

I am really in doubt that freePBX is compatible with "normal" Apache installation.

If you run a separate apache just for freePBX, I think it'll work fine. If you need to install the freePBX admin utility in a shared server, I think you'll have to look at the apache suexec stuff. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- http://www.spamchek.com/ - your spam is our business. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
