User Permissions and PHP with Plesk

K

I have an application that creates files within a domain automatically (using PHP). Because Apache is being run by the user apache, these files are being created user:group apache:apache.

That is fine, except when it comes to modifying these files, I cannot do so via the ftp user (mcartcarts) because it does not have permissions to.

I have gone so far as to add that user to the apache group, but alas, no luck. Even if the file has rwxrw-rw- permissions, the mcartcarts user cannot SEE or WRITE the file.

I am told that this is due to the suexec that php/apache runs with from plesk - but surely there must be a way around this? is there? it would be an EXTREME pain to have to chown the files EVERY time I want to edit them....

Running Plesk Reloaded 7.5.1 on Fedora

Thanks for any info that you can provide...

Cheers

Since no-one is able to help here - can you suggest a place to get help from? I have already paid for Plesk, so I am not thrilled about paying for support from them.... is there a forum that they monitor? Is there some better resource for finding the answer this question?

Thanks.
