Changing User/Group to allow PHP to chmod/rename and move_upload_file()
- by moe
It seems like I cannot do anything with my PHP script on my VPS.
It returns 'Permission denied' when I try to upload something to a directory.
Yes, I have changed the permission to 777, and it works, but I do not like the insecurity
When running the command:
ps axu|grep apache|grep -v grep
It returns

The owner of the directory is 'user [505]' and the group is 'user[508]' (as seen in WinSCP)
What can I do to change the Apache Handler to the right owner and group to allow my PHP scripts to work?
P.S
My PHP is not set to safe mode, and the open_basedir is set to no value
EDIT:
This is what my httpd.conf looks like (for the associative domain)
