Re: Console, shell and cronjob woes

@Andras: You should avoid using 777 as that gives read/write/execute access to the world, which is a major security concern.

Further information on this:

When a web page loads, any files written/updated within tmp folders are given apache:apache (user:group) access.

When a cronjob runs, any files written/updated within tmp folders are given user:user (user:group) access.  

If apache cannot read/write from these files it can cause Fatal PHP errors and web pages fail to load

If user cannot read/write from these files it can cause Fatal PHP errors which cause cronjobs not to run

How do I create a setup where apache and user cronjobs can run and update tmp files without breaking everything?

Thanks, Paul.
