I have some question about permission for my apache.



The following situation came in a test up:
I want to install wordpress and the setup told me that he can not create the file wp-config.php.
So I noticed that there is a permission problem. But how can I fix this?



All folders in var/www/html are owned by apache:apache and has 755 permissions (drwxr-xr-x).



What information you need to give me some suggestions?




centos apache-httpd

You should allow the user on which privileges apache process is running to write to this file.
To check the name of user used by apache process you can run ps -ef | grep httpd and then set the owner for wp-config.php file but after installation will be finished you should disallow apache to make changes on this file.

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
