Migration and Apache user owned file permissions

[jprince]

Hello.
Found another problem when migrating.
example:
Migration from Ubuntu 10.x lts to Centos 6.x.
Any files owned by www-data:www-data do not get updated user/group id's during migration.
Default user/group id on Ubuntu: 33:33
The migration make quite a mess that has to be fixed when there are "many" domains..

Hello! I checked migration from ubuntu10.04 to centos5.9. User/group ids for files owned by apache inside vhost folder are changed from 33:33 to 48:48. May be is it a special files in your case?

Hi.
We had 46,739 user files among 53 domains.
Wordpress sites were among 30 of the domains. The were not changed. The migration left them as 33:33
Assume any files on the DocRoot that would be owned by 33:33 would have been changed. Further check on the
old server, the 53 domains are the only domains that had any files that were owned by 33:33

Thanks.
