[ciapug] PHP file upload and permissions....

[Jonathan Bailey]

Here's the issue. My webserver runs under www-data. I have a user (in 
/etc/passwd) of the name 'codeclub'. www-data is a member of the group 
'codeclub'. I'm attempting to upload a file to that directory. Here is 
how the directory has it's permissions:

drwxrwxr-x    2 codeclub codeclub     1.3K 2005-03-08 11:14 files

Apache should be able to upload to this since www-data is a member of 
codeclub, right? For some reason, it doesn't work. If I chmod o+w files, 
I can upload fine... Here is a uploaded file permisssions after doing 
o+w on the directory:

-rw-r--r--    1 www-data www-data     980K 2005-03-08 11:14 winscp374.exe


Any ideas on why I have to make it world writable? Shouldn't just group 
writable work?
