[Bug 614195] Re: Apache2 UserDir defaults to User www-data

[Lox]

I faced the problem with wordpress installation in userdir. As the user
as no permissions on that dir, PHP scripts can't write files to that
dir. For example Worpdress can't create its configuration file on
install, or install extensions.

This is bad....

My solution is  to add 'my_user' to www-data group and to:

# sudo chmod -R 770 public html
# sudo chown -R my_user:www-data public html

This has to be done anytime 'my_user' adds or edits a php file in
public_html. This is tedious and should be fixed as soon as possible.

** Changed in: apache2 (Ubuntu)
