Hi,

We have a shared hosting platform, and have a requirement to allow php
scripts to create directories+files - Problem is that php is run under
apache user (www-data), and the users directories are owned by the
user, so php script is getting permission denied...We could chmod 777
on the directory, but I was hoping there was a more secure alternative?

Two options:

1. Run php as a CGI under suexec.

2. Give ownership of the relevant directories to www-data and use
php's safe mode.  (But be sure to recognize its limitations.)
