Unix socket permissions depend on umask, so set umask before listen and reset it after listen succeeds (the callback parameter). The following code will do that. var http = require("http"); var oldUmask = process.umask(0000); var server = http.createServer(function(request, response) { // ... }); server.listen("/some/socket/path", function() { process.umask(oldUmask); }); If there is worry about what happens between the listen() succeeding and the callback being called, you can always set the permissions explicitly (not depending on umask) with a fs.chmodSync call when the listen succeeds. |
