Hi there,

I have been using httpd for quite a while now, but after a new project/website 
having to have read/write/execute permissions (unsafe, I do realise..) I 
decided to:

1. add root to the www group,
2. chown -R www:www /var/www/htdocs
3. chmod -R 775 /var/www/htdocs

Everything was running smoothly, until I was testing out the functionality and 
realised I couldn't use php to write new directories or files, so I checked the 
permissions and for some reason they have all switched back to: root:daemon 
with permissions of 755.

Now, I'm guessing this is a security feature in some way, but for my purposes 
and he type of service I'm creating it is breaking everything. Can someone tell 
me what to man page to look up for this or something? Time is of the essence 
because I need this website runing properly by tomorrow at latest.

Many many thanks!!
