apache2

Hi folks,
I’ve installed apache2 server and it is nested in srv directory on OpenSUSE 12.1. It works fine except one thing, when the php script which has to create new file is executed from crontab new file has owner ‘me’ from group ‘users’ and when it is execute manualy from browser the user of new file is ‘wwwrun’ from group ‘www’. How can I change this in sense that new created files always have owner ‘me’?

How did you install Apache?

You should also be aware that 12.1 is no longer a supported version -
while someone here may be able to assist you, you should probably look at
upgrading to 13.1 or 13.2 (as the current supported versions) in the near
future. This is particularly important for a web server, as no security
patches are being released for unsupported versions, so if there were a
serious security issue like poodle or heartbleed, you probably won’t get
a patch for them.

If by ‘me’ you mean your username, that’s behavior that’s fairly
typical. You can make the group ownership sticky using the sticky bit in
chmod on the directory, so you can make the group ownership stick to www
for files created in the directory structure.

Which php script are you talking about, though? Apache doesn’t do that
by default, so there’s something else you’re doing that you’ve not told
us about…
