I am having trouble running a python file as the apache user.

When I run this command: sudo -u apache /etc/httpd/conf.d/upsell_by_id.py I get this error:

File "/etc/httpd/conf.d/upsell_by_id.py", line 8, in <module> keyword_groups = pickle.load(open("/home/zumodo/upsell_backup/upsells.pkl", "rb" )) IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/zumodo/upsell_backup/upsells.pkl'

However, the file in question has the following permissions:

-rwxrwxrwx.  1 skline skline 6.4M Dec  5 08:50 upsells.pkl

I am at a loss as to why the apache user is not allowed to open this file.

What about the permission of parent dirs that hold that file. – user108183 Dec 5 '11 at 22:53
