The standard way would of course be to put umask 002 into the .bashrc and/or .bash_profile in user's homedir, but www-data is a system user and www-data's homedir is /var/www, so I don't think that would work. If it has something to do with apache2ctl, then you could try to put 'umask 002' into the /etc/apache2/envvars, because apache2ctl sources that file before doing anything. > Cheers, > > Kjetil > -- > Kjetil Kjernsmo > Programmer / Astrophysicist / Ski-orienteer / Orienteer / Mountaineer > kjetil@kjernsmo.net > Homepage: http://www.kjetil.kjernsmo.net/ OpenPGP KeyID: 6A6A0BBC Simo -- :r ~/.signature
