\"download\"I ran into a\u00a0problem with Apache on Centos 6. For some time, I was the only person who had access to this particular machine\u00a0so permissions were not a problem. However, now that somebody else is taking care of the website hosted there, they had troubles editing files that were uploaded via website and owned by apache. So I added the user to the apache<\/em> group and put this line:<\/p>\n

umask 002<\/pre>\n
into file:<\/p>\n
\/etc\/sysconfig\/httpd<\/pre>\n
That way, any file created by apache user was by default writable by the apache<\/em> group so the given user would be able to work with those files. When I tried it out, however, it didn’t work, the user was not able to modify those files, to my frustration. Now, I was left with two options, either pull my hair off, or modify the httpd init script, neither of them much to my liking. Eventually, I found out that the solution was pretty easy – the PHP upload script was explicitly setting the permissions to 644 so members of apache<\/em> group were not able to modify the file. When I modified the application and its chmod<\/em> command, everything worked like a charm.<\/p>\n
\"\"Update 17. 4. 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n
I came to face the same situation with nginx on Centos 7<\/strong>. The issue was basically the same, only the file where umask directive had to be placed to was different:<\/p>\n
\/lib\/systemd\/php-fpm.service<\/pre>\n
and umask had to be placed into the [Service] section:<\/p>\n
