Our Linux RH 8 server is set up with the apache user in the apache group, and it's a no login user, so I can't su to it. When I define directories and want a web page to be able to write inside of that directory, I always have to either su to root and chown/chgrp the directories/files to apache apache, or I have to grant 7 rights to the world.
How do others handle this? Should I put apache in the users group? Or is that a bad idea? Is there something else that I'm missing? I'm not an expert at this, by any means.
