OK, that plus a restart of Apache seems to have brought the web interface back. 
Thanks.

Now, some questions:

  1. Is that a good idea; For the web server to have write access to the

  2. Why wasn’t this necessary with previous versions?
  3. If it is necessary, should it be mentioned in the installation 
instructions?
