CGI Security

For extra security, CGI (PHP, FastCGI and WSGI) programs are run as owner (i.e., SFTP username) on the OlympusNet Apache web server, rather than being run as Apache. As a result, CGI programs by default have the same access permissions as the owner. One does not need to relax permissions for CGI programs to work, as is often done when programs are run as Apache.
