CGI script create file with wrong permissions

Question

I'm using standard routers2.cgi to display MRTG graphs using .rrd data files in a linux server.

This routers.cgi file reads rrd data files and create MRTG graphs to display them from a web url.

This system is working fine. Only problem is the .png graphs creates with 600 permissions. But it needs 644 permission to display from the web page. So I had to change the permissions manually. How can I fix this, any suggestions?

url:

domain.com/cgi-bin/routers2.cgi

graphs located at:

domain.com/graphs/

apache2 config:

cgi bin: <path>/domain.com/cgi-bin
doc root: <path>/domain.com/public_html/

Well finally I have fixed it.

It got fix by adding following code in top of the script. In my case a have added it just below the ##CONFIG#START# comment line in the routers2.cgi
