Making httpdocs writable by apache

[perfectpenguin]

Hi,
I need to make the whole of the httpdocs directory (and its subdirectories) writeable by apache whilst maintaining normal FTP operations and not simply chmodding to 777. I've tried adding the user apache as a member of the psacln group and then recursively chmodded the httpdocs directory to 0775 but this hasn't worked.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Simon

I had an issue where directories/files created by php were not being assigned the correct group and apache couldn't access them. I fixed it by making sure PHP was compiled as CLI rather than the other option. Doing a php --version at the shell tells you if its CLI or not. Not sure if that applies to your problem but thought I'd throw it out there.
