Hi there,
I'm implementing a website which should feature around 13gb of contents in pdf, doc and odt.
To index all this content, I'm using pdftotext and openoffice from command line, with eZ Publish 3.10rc1 and eZ Find 1.0beta3. There's a custom parser in place which launches a nifty python script which just spits out on stdout all the content of every readable openoffice document.

I'm able to run the php-cli scripts to reindex the website as root, but when I upload a new file to the website I get the following error in the index log file:

09/11/2007 [10:26]  filename: var/ezwebin_site/storage/original/application/b9b6c03340525f50463500b08883e1b2.odt

I tried to login as apache on the server, and infact launching the same script from the command line gave me the same error. After giving full ownership and write permissions to /var/www I've been able to run the python script from command line, but it still gives me the error when ezpublish launches it.

Anybody has some ideas on how to fix the permissions? I don't know what else to look :-(
